Introduction
wWARNING - KEEP
BATTERIES OUT OF REACH
OF CHILDREN
• In Australia: If you suspect your
child has swallowed or inserted a
button battery, immediately call
the Australian 24-hour Poisons
Information Centre on 13 11 26 for
fast, expert advice.
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
• It is strongly recommended 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 and test strips. Ask your
healthcare professional or pharmacist
about other possible back-up methods.
• The meter prompts you to set the time
and date the first time you turn it on.
• Check the time and date on the meter
before you begin testing. Adjust the time
and date if necessary.
• Sample data screens are shown
throughout the manual. Your data will
dier.
• 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.

2Blood Glucose Tests 2
wWARNING
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
Roche. 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.
mg/dL or mmol/L is printed here
Using the Accu-Chek Guide Me
System
wWARNING
• If you drop the meter or drop the
meter with a test strip inserted,
the meter and/or test strip could
be damaged. Discard the test strip
and perform a control test with
control solution and a new,
unused test strip to ensure the
meter and test strips are both
working properly. Then repeat the
blood glucose test with a new test
strip.
• Do not store test strips in high
heat and moisture areas
(bathroom or kitchen)! Heat and
moisture can damage test strips.
• Use only Accu-Chek Guide 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.
• Close the test strip container tightly
immediately after removing a test strip
to protect the test strips from humidity.
• Store the unused test strips in their
original test strip container with the cap
closed.
• Check the use by date on the test strip
container. Do not use the test strips after
that date.
• Store the test strip container and meter
in a cool, dry place such as a bedroom.
• Refer to the test strip package insert for
test strip storage and system operating
conditions.
