CAREFULLY THE LIMITATIONS RECITED BELOW.
The Accu-Chek ® Advantage ® System (meter, including the
code key, and test strips) and its use is protected by US
Patent Nos. 5,508,171; 5,053,199; 5,288,636; 5,405,511;

and Complete ™ Systems when used with Accu-Chek ®
Comfort Curve ® Test Strips); and 5,352,351. A license to
use the Accu-Chek Advantage System is only granted when
the Accu-Chek
® Advantage ® Meter is used with the Accu-
Chek ® Advantage ® or Comfort Curve ® Test Strips and
Accu-Chek ™ Advantage ™ or Comfort Curve ™ Code Keys.
Accu-Chek Advantage and Comfort Curve Test Strips are
provided with a specifically matched Accu-Chek Advantage
or Comfort Curve Code Key. These test strips and code keys
are specifically manufactured for operation with the Accu-
Chek Advantage Meter. Use of other test strips with an
unmatched code key or even with the matched code key
supplied by another manufacturer may prevent or impair the
proper function of the Accu-Chek Advantage System.
Using the Accu-Chek Advantage System indicates your
acceptance of the restricted license to use the Accu-Chek
Advantage System only with Accu-Chek Advantage or
Comfort Curve Test Strips and the Accu-Chek Advantage or
Comfort Curve Code Key. Further, if you have purchased an
Accu-Chek
® Advantage ® Monitoring Kit or an Accu-Chek ®
121 120
Advantage ® Meter that includes this restricted license, then
this restricted license applies regardless of any additional
offers found in Accu-Chek
® Advantage ® or Comfort Curve ®
Test Strip packages. If you do not agree to the terms and
conditions of the restricted license, you may return, at the
place of purchase, the unused Accu-Chek Advantage
System for a full refund. If you have any questions, please
call Accu-Chek
SM Customer Care at 1-800-858–8072.
Except where prohibited by statute, all warranties covering
the Accu-Chek Advantage System are voided by use of the
Accu-Chek Advantage System with any test strips or code
keys other than Accu-Chek Advantage or Accu-Chek
Comfort Curve Test Strips or code keys.
