Important Safety Information
NOTE
• Perform a control test when you open a
new test strip box or if you think that a
test result is incorrect. Performing a
control test lets you know that the meter
and test strips are working properly.
• Refer to the test strip and control
solution package inserts for additional
health-related information.
• Blood glucose and BG are
interchangeable and mean the same
thing.
Special Information for Caregivers
• Consult your healthcare professional to
determine if it is appropriate for your child
to be taught how to use the meter system
or any other medical products.
• Some people with diabetes do not
experience symptoms of low blood glucose
(hypoglycemia). Others, such as children or
people who are unconscious or have
certain disabilities, may not be able to
communicate their symptoms to
caregivers. For these reasons, do not
change any therapy without first talking to
a healthcare professional.
Before You Start Testing
WARNING
• Carefully read and follow the
instructions in the User’s Manual and
package inserts for the test strips
and control solutions. It is very
important to follow the instructions in
order to avoid an incorrect test result
that leads to improper therapy.
• Inspect the test strip container before
using the test strips for the first time.
If you see any damage to the
container cap or if anything prevents
the cap from closing properly, do not
use the test strips. Contact the
Accu‑Chek Customer Care Service
Center at 1‑800‑585‑8072. Damaged
test strips can cause inaccurate
results, which could lead to improper
therapy.
• The meter, test strips, and control
solution are only for use outside the
body (in vitro). Do not eat the test
strips. Do not swallow or inject the
control solution or use the control
solution for any purpose other than
testing the Accu‑Chek Guide system.
NOTE
• The meter may prompt you to choose a
language 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.
