Accu-Chek Advantage - Manual (Page 3)

Important Information About Your New Meter
• Your blood glucose meter is designed and approved for testing fresh capillary whole blood samples (like blood
taken from fingertips) outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use). It should not be used to diagnose diabetes.
• Be sure to use only Accu-Chek Comfort Curve Test Strips or Accu-Chek Advantage Test Strips with the meter.
Other test strips may produce inaccurate results.
• Do the control checks explained in this booklet to make sure your system is working properly.
• Carefully dispose of used test strips and lancets.
Health-Related Information
• Being severely dehydrated or losing a lot of water may give you false (low) test results. If you think you’re
suffering from dehydration, call your doctor right away.
• If you have followed all the instructions in this booklet and still have symptoms that don’t seem to match your
test results – or if you have questions – talk to your doctor.
