4Intended use
Farbe: P 249 – Prüfmittelnummer: 203
Intended use
Accu-Chek Compact Plus Blood Glucose Meter
Meter for quantitative determination of blood glucose values in fresh
capillary blood using Accu-Chek Compact maltose-independent
chemistry test strips that are labeled with the green symbol N.
Suitable for self-testing.
The Accu-Chek Compact Plus blood glucose meter may be used by
people with diabetes to test their own blood glucose as well as for blood
glucose determination by healthcare practitioners in a professional
setting.
Healthcare professionals must observe additionally the directions
in Chapter 10 “Blood glucose testing in a multi-patient setting –
Information for healthcare professionals”.
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).

Intended use
Accu-Chek Softclix Plus Lancing Device
Lancing device with adjustable depth setting for obtaining capillary
blood from a fingertip or earlobe using Accu-Chek Softclix lancets and,
when a special AST cap is used, from alternate sites such as the ball of
the thumb.
The lancing device is intended for personal use only!
It may only be used by one and the same person for obtaining
blood. There is a risk of infections being transmitted if the lancing
device is used by other people, or if healthcare professionals use
this lancing device to obtain blood from more than one person,
even family members. This lancing device is therefore not
suitable for professional use in healthcare facilities or institutions.
