The Accu-Chek Aviva Nano System
The Accu-Chek Aviva Nano meter is designed to be used with the Accu-Chek Aviva test strip to
quantitatively measure glucose in fresh venous, arterial, neonatal, and capillary whole blood as an aid in
monitoring the eectiveness of glucose control. Capillary whole blood for testing of blood glucose can be
obtained from fingertip and approved alternate sites (for example, forearm). Refer to the Alternate Site
Testing (AST) section of this manual for approved alternate sites and associated limitations. The
Accu-Chek Aviva Nano meter with the Accu-Chek Aviva test strips provide a complete test system that is
meant for in vitro diagnostic use by healthcare professionals in clinical settings and by people with
diabetes at home. The system is not for use in diagnosis or screening of diabetes mellitus. Healthcare
professional blood sample collection and preparation is described in the test strip package insert.
For use only with the Accu-Chek Aviva test strips and control solutions
Suitable for self-testing
The system includes:
• Accu-Chek Aviva Nano meter with batteries and pre-inserted activation chip
• Accu-Chek Aviva test strips*
• Accu-Chek Aviva control solutions*
*Some items may not be included in the kit. They are a separate purchase.

Using the Accu-Chek Aviva Nano System
• Use only Accu-Chek Aviva test strips.
• Use the test strip immediately after removing it from the test strip container.
• Do not apply blood or control solution to the test strip before inserting it into the meter.
• Close the test strip container tightly immediately after removing a test strip to protect the test strips
from humidity.
• Store the unused test strips in their original test strip container with the cap closed.
• Check the use by date on the test strip container. Do not use the test strips after that date.
• Store the test strip container and meter in a cool, dry place such as a bedroom.
• Refer to the test strip package insert for test strip storage and system operating conditions.
WARNING
Do not store test strips in high heat and moisture areas (bathroom or kitchen)! Heat and moisture can
damage test strips.
NOTE
Your meter is already coded and comes with a pre-inserted black activation chip that you never need
to change. Even if you use test strips from test strip boxes that contain another activation chip that is a
dierent color or has dierent numbers, you never need to change the black activation chip again.
If you need a black activation chip, contact Accu-Chek Customer Care at 1-800-363-7949.

Performing a Blood Glucose Test with Blood from Your Palm, Forearm, or Upper
Arm (Alternate Site Testing)
You have the option of obtaining a blood sample from other sites on your body besides the fingertip.
Alternate sites include the palm, forearm, and upper arm.
Blood obtained from the fingertip can be used at any time to perform a blood glucose test.
If blood from the palm, forearm, or upper arm is used, there are certain times when testing is not
appropriate. This is because your blood glucose level changes faster in your fingertip than in the palm,
forearm, and upper arm. These dierences may cause you to misinterpret your actual blood glucose level,
leading to improper therapy and potential adverse health eects.
Read the next section before you try testing from the palm, forearm, or upper arm.
You may perform
a palm, forearm,
or upper arm
test
• immediately before a meal.
• while fasting.
You may NOT
perform a palm,
forearm, or
upper arm test
• up to 2hours following a meal, when blood glucose values can rise quickly.
• after injecting bolus insulin, when blood glucose values can decrease rapidly.
• after exercise.
• if you are sick.
• if you think your blood glucose is low (hypoglycemia).
• if you sometimes do not notice when your blood glucose is low.
If you are interested in AST, talk to your healthcare professional first.
To obtain an AST cap and detailed AST instructions, contact Accu-Chek Customer Care at
1-800-363-7949.

your test results to help you and your healthcare professional in the management of
your diabetes.
Pre-Meal Marker with Post-Meal Test Reminder
When a pre-meal result is marked with a post-meal test reminder, the meter beeps
1 or 2hours after you test to remind you to do a post-meal test.
Post-Meal Marker
Marking blood glucose results with a post-meal marker provides more information about
your test results to help you and your healthcare professional in the management of
your diabetes. The post-meal marker automatically appears with the test result if a test
is performed 15minutes before or after the post-meal test reminder is programmed to
beep. Set the post-meal test reminder time to 1 or 2hours in the set-up mode. The
meter will beep 1 or 2hours after the pre-meal test to remind you to do a post-meal
test.
General Marker
You might want to use the general marker to mark an event such as an AST result or
exercise.
Marking Blood Glucose Results and Setting the Post-Meal Test Reminder
You can mark a blood glucose result to indicate a special event. If you select a test result marker, it is
automatically stored in memory. When you review the test results in memory, these markers can help
you remember what was dierent about the test result.

Symptoms of Low or High Blood Glucose
Being aware of the symptoms of low or high blood glucose can help you understand your test results and
decide what to do if they seem unusual.
Low blood glucose (hypoglycemia): Symptoms of hypoglycemia may include, but are not limited to,
anxiety, shakiness, sweating, headache, increased hunger, dizziness, pale skin color, sudden change in
mood or irritability, fatigue, diculty concentrating, clumsiness, palpitations, and/or confusion.
High blood glucose (hyperglycemia): Symptoms of hyperglycemia may include, but are not limited to,
increased thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision, drowsiness, and/or unexplained weight loss.
WARNING
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, or other unusual symptoms, test your blood glucose
from the fingertip. If your blood glucose result is displayed as LO or HI, contact your healthcare
professional immediately.

Storing Blood Glucose and Control Results
The meter automatically stores up to 500blood glucose results and up to 20 control results with the time
and date of the test result and any test result marker which you can review at any time. Test results are
stored from the newest to the oldest, so set the time and date correctly in the meter. Having the correct
time and date setting helps ensure appropriate interpretation of stored blood glucose results by you and
your healthcare team.
NOTE
• The memory is not lost when the batteries are replaced; however, confirm that the time and date are
still correct. See Chapter3, Setting the Time and Date.
• Once 500blood glucose results are in memory, adding a new result causes the oldest one to be
deleted.
• If more than 500blood glucose tests are performed within a 90-day period, only the most recent
500test results are included in the 90-day average.
• Control results are stored in memory, but cannot be reviewed on the meter. To view stored control
results, first transfer them to a compatible software application. Contact Accu-Chek Customer Care at
1-800-363-7949 for product availability.
• Control results are not included in the 7-, 14-, 30-, and 90-day averages.
• Only test results that have been assigned a pre-meal or post-meal marker are included in pre-meal
and post-meal averages. All blood glucose results are included in the general 7-, 14-, 30-, and 90-day
averages.
