Calibrating (Coding) the ACCU-CHEK Inform II Meter
Demonstrate this procedure if operators will not be authorized to enter test strip codes into the
system. Have operators perform this procedure if they will be expected to enter new test strip
lots periodically.
• A code key is packaged with each new box of test strips. Each code key belongs to a single lot
number and provides important information about the lot specic parameters of the test strip.
• The properties of the test strips are uploaded (as a code le) from the code key using the code
key reader and sent to the meter.
• The code le is stored in the meter / data management system and only needs to be uploaded
once until a new lot is introduced.
• Coding is veried by matching the test strip lot number on the ACCU-CHEK Inform II meter
touchscreen with the code number printed on the vial of test strips.
Note: This procedure will only occur once per new lot.
Gather the following items for calibration:
• ACCU-CHEK Inform II meter
• ACCU-CHEK Inform II code key reader
• ACCU-CHEK Inform II test strips with matching code key
