FAQ

Q1: Are these strips compatible with all Accu-Chek meters?

Ans: No, they only work with Accu-Chek Instant and Instant S glucometers. Do not use them with Aviva, Performa, or Guide meters.

Q2: How much blood is needed per test?

Ans: Only a small drop is required, thanks to the Easy-edge dosing design. The exact volume is minimal and less painful than traditional strips.

Q3: Can I touch the yellow application area of the strip?

Ans: Avoid touching the dosing edge, as oils or dirt from fingers may affect accuracy.

Q4: Do I need to manually code the strips in the meter?

Ans: No coding is required. The meter automatically recognises the strip.

Q5: Can I use blood from areas other than my fingertip?

Ans: Yes, the strips are validated for capillary, venous, arterial, and neonatal samples. However, follow medical guidance for alternate site testing.

Q6: What if I don't apply enough blood?

Ans: The meter may display an error message or fail to give a result. Do not apply a second drop — discard and use a new strip.

Q7: Are the test results lab-accurate?

Ans: The strips meet ISO 15197:2013 accuracy requirements. For critical decisions, it is still advisable to cross-check with a lab.

Q8: What if I apply blood to the wrong part of the strip?

Ans: Always apply blood to the yellow edge. Applying it elsewhere may result in inaccurate readings or test failure.

Q9: Is the result visible immediately?

Ans: Yes, the test result appears in less than 4 seconds after proper blood application.

Q10: Do the strips work in cold or hot weather?

Ans: Yes, they are tested for use between 4°C and 45°C, but it's best to store them at room temperature when possible.
