Introduction
The Accu-Chek Aviva System
The Accu-Chek Aviva 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 alternative sites (for example, forearm). Refer to the Alternative Site Testing (AST)
section of this manual for approved alternative sites and associated limitations. The Accu-Chek Aviva meter
with the Accu-Chek Aviva test strips provide a complete test system that is meant for in vitro diagnostic use
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 meter with battery
• Accu-Chek Aviva test strips*
• Accu-Chek Aviva control solutions*
*Some items may not be included in the kit. They are a separate purchase.

Introduction
w WARNING
The Accu-Chek FastClix finger pricker is intended for patient self-monitoring by an individual person
only. It must not be used to collect blood from more than one person as it does not incorporate any
features to guard against cross-infection.
w WARNING
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 dierence in how you manage your diabetes every day.
We have made it as simple as possible.
Important Information About Your New Meter
• 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 this manual but still have symptoms that do not seem to match your test results,
or if you have questions, talk to your healthcare professional.

Blood Glucose Tests 2
w WARNING
Blood glucose results can be displayed in either
mg/dL or mmol/L. The back label of the meter
shows the unit of measurement. If the meter
shows the wrong unit, contact the Accu-Chek
Customer Careline on 0800 701 000 (UK) or
1 800 709 600 (ROI). If you do not know which
unit of measurement is correct for you, contact
your healthcare professional. Using the wrong
unit of measurement may cause
misinterpretation of your actual blood glucose
level and may lead to improper therapy.
Performing a Blood Glucose Test with Blood from Your Fingertip

Blood samples taken from the palm are equivalent to blood samples taken from the fingertip. To
receive Alternative Site Testing (AST) instructions and an AST cap for obtaining blood from the palm,
contact the Accu-Chek Customer Careline on 0800 701 000 (UK) or 1 800 709 600 (ROI).

Before you perform your first blood glucose test, set up the meter correctly. You need the meter, a test strip,
a finger pricker, and a lancet.
1
Wash and dry your hands.
2
Prepare the finger pricker.
See Chapter 7, The
Accu-Chek FastClix Finger
Pricker.
3
Check the use by date on
the test strip container.
Do not use test strips
past the use by date.
4
Insert the test strip into
the meter in the direction
of the arrows.
The meter turns on and
beeps.
5
When the blood drop
symbol flashes, obtain a
blood sample with the aid
of a finger pricker.
6
With your hand facing
downwards, gently
squeeze your finger to
assist the blood flow.
This helps you get a
blood drop.
7
Touch the blood drop to the front edge of the yellow
window of the test strip.
Do not put blood on top of the test strip.
The meter beeps and flashes when there is enough
blood in the test strip.
