The ACCU-CHEK Nano SmartView System
The ACCU-CHEK Nano SmartView blood glucose monitoring system is intended to be used for the quantitative
measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from the fingertips or palm. The
ACCU-CHEK Nano SmartView blood glucose monitoring system is intended to be used by a single person and
should not be shared.
The ACCU-CHEK Nano SmartView blood glucose monitoring system is intended for self-testing outside the body
(in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home as an aid to monitor the eectiveness of diabetes
control. The ACCU-CHEK Nano SmartView blood glucose monitoring system should not be used for the diagnosis
of or screening of diabetes or for neonatal use. Alternate site testing should be done only during steady-state
times (when glucose is not changing rapidly).
The ACCU-CHEK SmartView test strips are for use with the ACCU-CHEK Nano blood glucose meter to
quantitatively measure glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from the fingertips or
palm.
This system is intended to be used by a single person and should not be shared.

ACCU-CHEK Nano meter with batteries, ACCU-CHEK SmartView test strips*, ACCU-CHEK SmartView control
solution*, ACCU-CHEK FastClix lancing device* (with a black cap for fingertip testing and an AST cap** for

WARNING
• DO NOT CHANGE YOUR THERAPY BASED ON A TEST RESULT THAT DOES NOT MATCH HOW YOU FEEL OR IF
YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR TEST RESULT COULD BE INCORRECT.
• It is always a good idea to have a back-up testing method available. Failure to test could cause a delay in
therapy decisions and lead to a serious medical condition. Examples of back-up testing methods include
a back-up meter or testing by a laboratory. Ask your healthcare professional or pharmacist about other
possible back-up methods.
• If your blood glucose result does not match how you feel and you have followed the instructions in this
Owner’s Booklet, follow your healthcare professional’s instructions, or contact your healthcare professional.

Important Safety Information
WARNING
• During normal testing, any blood glucose meter or lancing device may come in contact with blood. All parts
of the kit are considered biohazardous and can potentially transmit infectious diseases from bloodborne
pathogens, even after you have performed cleaning and disinfecting.
1,2
• The meter and lancing device should never be used by more than one person. Do not share the meter
and lancing device with anyone, including family members, due to the risk of infection from bloodborne
pathogens.
1,2
• Cleaning and disinfecting the meter and lancing device destroys most, but not necessarily all, bloodborne
pathogens.
3
• If the meter is being operated by a second person who is providing testing assistance to the user, the meter
and lancing device should be cleaned and disinfected prior to use by the second person.
• Disinfect the meter and lancing device before allowing anyone else to handle them. Do not allow anyone else
to test with the meter or lancing device.
• It is important to keep the meter and lancing device clean and disinfected. For instructions on how to
clean and disinfect the meter and lancing device, see Chapter6, Meter and Lancing Device Cleaning and
Disinfecting.
• Wash hands thoroughly before and after handling the meter, lancing device, or test strips.
NOTE
• Perform a control test when you open a new test strip box or if you think that a test result is incorrect.
Performing a control test lets you know that the meter and test strips are working properly.
• Refer to the test strip and control solution package inserts for additional health-related information.

Important Safety Information
Special Information for Caregivers
• Do not use the meter system to measure blood glucose in people who are experiencing cardiovascular
collapse (severe shock) or decreased peripheral blood flow.
• Consult your healthcare professional to determine if it is appropriate for your child to be taught how to use the
meter system or any other medical products.
• Some people with diabetes do not experience symptoms of low blood glucose (hypoglycemia). Others, such
as children or people who are unconscious or have certain disabilities, may not be able to communicate their
symptoms to caregivers. For these reasons, do not change any therapy without first talking to a healthcare
professional.
Before You Start Testing
WARNING
• Carefully read and follow the instructions in the Owner’s Booklet and package inserts for the test strips and
control solution. It is very important to follow the instructions in order to avoid an incorrect test result that
leads to improper therapy.
• Inspect the test strip container before using the test strips for the first time. If you see any damage to the
container cap or if anything prevents the cap from closing properly, do not use the test strips. Contact the
ACCU-CHEK Customer Care Service Center. Damaged test strips can cause inaccurate results, which could
lead to improper therapy.
• The meter, test strips, and control solution are only for use outside the body (in vitro). Do not eat the test
strips. Do not swallow or inject the control solution or use the control solution for any purpose other than
testing the ACCU-CHEK Nano SmartView system.
NOTE
Set the time and date on the meter before you begin testing.

Your New System
Using the ACCU-CHEK Nano SmartView System
• Use only ACCU-CHEK SmartView 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. Retest with a new test
strip. If a result appears before applying blood or control solution, do not act on that result.
• Close the test strip container tightly immediately after removing a test strip. Moisture can damage the test
strips and produce incorrect results.
• Store the unused test strips in their original container with the cap tightly closed.
• Discard the test strips if they are past the Use By date printed on the test strip container. If the Use By date is
missing or cannot be read, do not use the test strips. Contact the ACCU-CHEK Customer Care Service Center at
1-800-858-8072.
• Refer to the test strip package insert for test strip storage and system operating conditions.
• Do not remove test strips from the test strip container and put them into another container, such as a plastic
bag, pocket, purse, wallet, etc.
• Do not reuse test strips. Once control solution or blood has been applied to a test strip, discard it. If a retest is
necessary, use a new test strip.
• Perform a control test every time you open a new test strip box.
WARNING
To prevent inaccurate results:
• DO NOT expose test strips to heat, moisture, or humidity. Temperatures outside the required range, as well
as moisture and humidity, can damage the test strips and lead to inaccurate results.
• DO NOT bend, cut, or alter the test strips.
• DO NOT get dirt, food, or other material on the test strip.
