Technical information

Important Information About Your New Meter
• Your blood glucose meter is designed and approved for testing fresh capillary whole blood samples (like
blood taken from fingertips) outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use). It should not be used to diagnose
diabetes.
• Be sure to use only Accu-Chek Comfort Curve Test Strips or Accu-Chek Advantage Test Strips with the meter.
Other test strips may produce inaccurate results.
• Do the control tests explained in this booklet to make sure your system is working properly.
• Carefully dispose of used test strips and lancets.
Health-Related Information
• Being severely dehydrated or losing a lot of water may give you false (low) test results. If you think you’re
suffering from dehydration, call your doctor right away.
• If you have followed all the instructions in this booklet and still have symptoms that don’t seem to match
your test results – or if you have questions – talk to your doctor.
