The Accu-Chek®Aviva Nano System
Your new Accu-Chek Aviva Nano Meter is for quantitative blood glucose testing using
Accu-Chek Aviva Strips.
Suitable for self-testing.
The Accu-Chek Aviva Nano Meter may be used by patients who test their own blood
glucose as well as by healthcare professionals for monitoring patients’ blood glucose
values.
The system includes (some items may be sold separately):
Accu-Chek Aviva Nano Meter with batteries•
Accu-Chek Aviva Strips and code chip•
Accu-Chek Aviva Control Solution•
2
Any object coming into contact with human blood is a potential
source of infection (see: Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute:
Protection of Laboratory Workers from Occupationally Acquired
Infections; Approved Guideline – Third Edition; CLSI document
M29-A3, 2005).

Why Regular Blood Glucose Testing Is Important
Testing your blood glucose regularly can make a big difference in how you manage
your diabetes every day. We have made it as simple as possible.
Need Help?
Call Accu-Chek Customer Care at 1-800-363-7949.
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 Strips. Other 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.

Coding the Meter
1. Make sure the meter
is off.
2. Turn the meter over. 3. Remove the old code
chip (if there is one in
the meter) and
discard it.

4. Turn the code chip over so the
code number faces away from
you. Push it into the code chip
slot until it stops.
5. Leave the code chip in the meter
until you open a new box of
strips.
Notes:
Do not force the code chip into the meter. It is designed to go into the meter only•
one way.
If you see a code “- - -” on the display, insert a code chip into the meter.•
10

Using the Accu-Chek Aviva Nano System
Only use Accu-Chek Aviva Strips.•
Change the code chip every time you•
open a new box of strips.
Store the unused strips in their•
original container.
Close the container tightly immediately•
after you take a strip out.
This helps keep the strips dry.
Use the strip immediately after•
you take it out of the container.
Be sure to check the expiry date on the•
strip container. Do not use the
strips after that date.
Store the strip container and•
meter in a cool dry place, such as a
bedroom.
Store the strips at 2 °C to•
32 °C. Do not freeze. Use strips
at temperatures within the range
indicated in the strip package
insert.
Do not apply blood or control solution•
to the strip before you insert it into
the meter.
Do not store strips in high heat and moisture areas (bathroom or
kitchen)! Heat and moisture can damage strips.

Chapter 2: Testing Your Blood Glucose
Performing a Blood Glucose Test
Before you perform your first blood glucose test, set up the meter correctly.
You need the meter, a strip, and a lancing device with a lancet loaded.
1. Wash and dry your hands.
2. Prepare your lancing device.
3. Insert the strip into the meter in
the direction of the arrows. The meter
turns on.
4. Make sure the code number on the
display matches the code number on
the strip container. If you miss
seeing the code number, remove the
strip and reinsert it into the meter.
13

5. A strip and
flashing blood drop
symbol appear on
the display.
6. Lance your fingertip with the lancing device. Blood samples
taken from the palm are equivalent to blood taken from the
fingertip. For detailed information on how to obtain blood
from the palm, refer to the Alternate Site Testing (AST)
section, steps 5 and 6.

OR
Yellow Release
Button

7. Gently squeeze your finger to assist
the flow of blood. This helps you get a
blood drop.
8. Touch the blood drop to the front edge
of the yellow window of the strip.
Do not put blood on top of the
strip. When you see flash, you have
enough blood in the strip.
15

9. The result appears on the display. If you want to
mark the test result as a pre-meal or post-meal
test, or with a general marker, leave the strip
in the meter (see the next section). Otherwise,
remove and discard the used strip.
Note:After a successful test, the meter turns off five seconds after the strip is
removed.
16

Marking Test Results and Setting the Post-Meal
Reminder
If you wish, you can mark your test result with:
Pre-Meal Marker
Pre-Meal Marker with Post-Meal Reminder
Post-Meal Marker
General Marker
Marking results with a• pre-meal or post-meal marker provides more information
about your blood glucose results to help you and your healthcare professional in
the management of your diabetes.
When a pre-meal result is marked with a• post-meal reminder the meter beeps
one or two hours after you test to remind you to do a post-meal test.
You might want to use the• general marker to mark an event such as an AST
(alternate site testing) result or exercise.
When you review the results in memory, these markers can help you remember what
was different about the result.
17

Here is how to mark a test result and initiate a post-meal reminder:
Perform a blood glucose test. Do not remove the strip.
1. Press and release
to toggle through the test result markers and post-meal reminder.
Pre-Meal Marker
Pre-Meal Marker with Post-Meal Reminder
Post-Meal Marker
General Marker
2. When the test result marker ( , , or ) or pre-meal marker with post-meal reminder
() that you wish to select appears on the display, remove the strip from the
meter.
If you select the post-meal reminder, the meter beeps one or two hours after the•
pre-meal test to remind you to do a post-meal test.
If you select a test result marker, it is automatically stored in memory.•
18
Note:The post-meal marker automatically appears with the test result if a
test is performed 15 minutes before or after the post-meal reminder is
programmed to beep. Set the post-meal reminder time to one or two
hours in the set-up mode

Alternate Site Testing (AST)
You have the option of testing other places on your body besides the fingertip.
Blood obtained from a fingertip or palm can be used at any time to measure blood
glucose. The two palm testing sites are the fleshy areas under the thumb (thenar)
and under the little finger (hypothenar). If blood from an alternate site such as the
forearm, upper arm, thigh, or calf is used, there are certain times when testing is not
appropriate (see next page). This is because your glucose level changes quicker in
your fingertip or palm than in the alternate sites. These differences may cause you to
make the wrong therapeutic decision producing adverse health effects. Please read
the following section before you try testing from other places.
