Important Information About Your New Meter
Your new meter is designed for testing fresh whole blood samples (for example, •
blood from your fingertip or forearm). The meter is for outside the body (in vitro)
use. It should not be used to diagnose diabetes.
Only use Accu-Chek Aviva Test Strips. Other test strips will give inaccurate results.•
The meter comes with a preset time and date. You may need to change the time to •
your time zone.
If you follow the steps in the manual, but still have symptoms that do not seem •
to match your test results, or if you have questions, talk to your healthcare
professional.
