1 What is new in SW 03.05
1.1 Change to workflow when inserting test strips
Description In SW 03.05 the hourglass icon appears after the test strip
has been inserted to indicate that the meter is checking
the test strip.
This new workflow applies whenever you perform a test,
whether patient glucose test, control test, proficiency, or
linearity.

Inserting test strips After confirming the test strip lot, a flashing green arrow
appears on screen and prompts you to insert the test
strip.
1 Remove the test strip from the test strip vial and
close the vial with the cap.
2 Hold the test strip so the lettering “ACCU-CHEK” is
facing upward.
3 Slide the test strip into the test strip port as far as it
goes in the direction indicated by the arrows on the
test strip.
The meter beeps. The hourglass icon appears and indi-
cates that the meter is checking the test strip. Do not
apply blood while it is displayed.

2.2 Additional information for chapter 3, “Patient Glucose Testing”
Obtaining a blood sample Prepare the selected blood collection site and obtain
blood from the patient per facility policy.
Recommendations for the collection of capillary
blood
If no facility policy exists for obtaining capillary blood, the
patient's hands (or heel in the case of small children)
should be washed with warm water and soap, and then
dried thoroughly. If you are using alcohol wipes or other
disinfectants when obtaining capillary blood, the patient's
skin must be completely dry before you lance the site to
obtain blood.
Use an auto-disabling single-use lancing device for each
patient. The lancing device must be intended for use by
healthcare professionals in a multiple patient setting.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.
We recommend obtaining the capillary blood sample
from the side of the fingertip as this part is the least
sensitive to pain.
WARNING
Potential risk of incorrect results due to residues on
skin
■Traces of food on the fingers or fatty residues from
hand cremes or soap products may contaminate
the sample and lead to incorrect results. Wash the
puncture site thoroughly and rinse with plenty of
water.
■Residues of water or disinfectant on the skin can
dilute the drop of blood and lead to incorrect
results. After you have washed and disinfected the
site, ensure that the patient's skin is completely dry
before lancing the site to obtain a capillary blood
sample.

2.3 Additional information for chapter A.2 “Example of barcode
symbologies“
The barcode samples shown on page 158 of Operator's
Manual version 4.0 are for illustration purposes only. If
printed out, they can be used to check the barcode
scanner. However, they are not meant to be used as a ref-
erence for size or resolution of real patient or operator ID
barcodes. Always refer to the relevant standard ISO/IEC
15421 for size and resolution requirements when creating
patient or operator barcodes.
When creating patient or operator barcodes, always
adhere to the applicable international IEC/ISO standards
for the respective barcode symbology. In particular, ensure
that barcode size and print quality (as defined in ISO/IEC
15421) are adequate. Inadequate print size and/or quality
may lead to erroneous decoding.
EAN 13 barcodes, although widely used in retail, are
less recommendable for patient/operator barcodes. If
used, they demand the very highest quality standards
of barcode creation and reproduction.
