The Accu-Chek Performa System
The Accu-Chek Performa meter is designed to be used with the Accu-Chek Performa test strip to
quantitatively measure glucose in fresh venous, arterial, neonatal, and capillary whole blood as an aid in

vitro diagnostic use by healthcare professionals in clinical settings and 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.
