WARNING
The Accu-Chek Instant meter
and Accu-Chek FastClix finger
pricker are intended for patient
self monitoring by an individual
person only. They must not be
used to test blood glucose from
more than one person as they do
not incorporate any features to
guard against cross-infection.

does not replace the detailed
User Manual for your
Accu-Chek Instant blood
glucose monitoring system. Be
sure to comply with the safety
information in the User Manual
and in the package insert of the
test strip.
NOTE
• You need the meter, Accu-Chek Instant test strip, and a lancing device with a lancet inserted to perform a blood glucose test.
• A blood glucose test cannot be performed while the meter is connected to a PC with a USB cable.
PERFORMING A BLOOD GLUCOSE TEST
WITH BLOOD FROM YOUR FINGERTIP
Your test result appears with an arrow. This arrow shows
if your test result falls above, within, or below the target
range.* The target range is represented by the green
region of the target range indicator. The arrow will flash if
your test result falls above or below this range.
Remove and discard the used test strip by pulling the test
strip out of the meter or by pushing the test strip ejector on
the side of the meter.
Wash your hands with
warm soapy water and
dry thoroughly. Prepare
the lancing device.
Check the use by date on
the test strip container.
Do not use test strips past
the use by date.
Remove a test strip from
the test strip container.
Close the cap tightly.
Insert the metallic end of
the test strip into the meter.
The meter turns on.
When a flashing drop
symbol appears, perform
a fingerstick with the
lancing device.
Gently squeeze your
finger to assist the blood
flow. This helps you get a
blood drop.
Touch the yellow edge of the
test strip to the blood drop.
Do not put blood on top of the
test strip.
Remove your finger from the
test strip when the flashing
hourglass symbol appears.
Failure to move your finger
away from the test strip could
give inaccurate test results.
