5.5 Notes on blood glucose testing
Incorrect results can cause the wrong therapy
recommendation to be made and so lead to
serious adverse health effects.
Therefore, please follow the following instructions:
Only use the Accu-Chek Active meter with

Accu-Chek Active test strips that are approved by
Roche Diagnostics GmbH. Other test strips deliver
incorrect results.
If the code number on the display does not match

the code number on the test strip container, do not
perform blood glucose tests. Incorrect coding
produces incorrect results.
Use only test strips with an expiry date which has

not been exceeded. Test strips with an expiry date
that has already passed can produce incorrect
results. If the expiry date has passed, the
symbol will be displayed in the test strip symbol.
Check the expiry date on the label of the test strip
container. You will nd it next to the
symbol.
Also check that the current date is set in the meter
and that the inserted code chip belongs to the test
strip you are using.
