Coding Your Meter
What is coding, and when is it necessary?
Before you use your meter for the first time and
every time you open a new box of test strips, you
need to set the meter to “match” the strips. This is
called coding.
To ensure accuracy of your blood glucose
monitoring system, you must change your code key
with each new box of test strips. Each code key
provides your meter with the specific information
that your meter needs to accurately measure your
blood glucose. Do not use code keys with your
Accu-Chek Advantage Meter from any test strip
manufacturer or system other than the Accu-Chek
Advantage System from Roche Diagnostics. Use of
other manufacturers’ code keys may result in
erroneous results with your system.
Setting the Hypo Flag
The hypo flag allows you to define your hypoglycemic level
and receive a reminder whenever you obtain a blood sugar
result below this level.You can set the hypo indicator level
to any number between 3.3 and 4.4 mmol/L. Important
Note: Consult with your healthcare professional to set the
hypo marker to compliment your therapy. Do not use the
hypo marker as the only indicator of hypoglycemia. Rely
upon your symptoms and directions from your healthcare
professional.
