Accu-Chek Advantage - Manual (Page 15)

Coding Your Meter
To ensure accuracy of your Accu-Chek Advantage sys-
tem, Roche Diagnostics recommends changing your
Code Key with each new box of Accu-Chek Comfort
Curve test strips. Each Code Key provides your Accu-
Chek Advantage meter with the specific information that
your meter needs to accurately measure your blood
sugar. Do not use code keys with your Accu-Chek
Advantage meter from any test strip manufacturer or
system other than the Accu-Chek Comfort Curve or
Accu-Chek Advantage systems from Roche Diagnostics.
Use of other manufacturer’s code keys may result in
erroneous results with your system. Before you use your
meter for the first time and every time you open a new
box of test strips, you need to set the meter to
“match” the strips. This is called coding or calibration.
The Accu-Chek Advantage system is coded automati-
cally using the Code Key found with each new vial of
test strips. The Code Key is properly inserted when it
snaps into place.
You will need to insert a new Code Key:
• Whenever you open a new box of strips.
• Whenever these displays appear:
