About testing yourself or others
Certain substances can interfere with the ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus blood glucose system and cause falsely
high results. For example, if you use peritoneal dialysis solutions containing icodextrin (such as Extraneal), or
take certain immunoglobulin therapies that contain maltose (such as Octagam 5 %), it will cause inaccurate
results. For more information, refer to the test strip package insert, or ask your doctor.
If you are very dehydrated or urinating frequently, you may get an inaccurate test result. If you think you are
dehydrated, call yo ur doctor right away.
The ACCU-CHEK Softclix Plus Lancing Device is intended for patient self-monitoring by an individual person
only. It must not be used to collect blood in a multi-patient setting as it does not incorporate any features to
guard against cross-infection.
• Some people with diabetes do not experience symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Others, such as children or
people who are unconscious or have certain disabilities, may not be able to communicate their symptoms to caregivers.
For these reasons, do not change any treatment without first talking to a doctor.
• Run a control test when you open a new box of test strips or if you think that your test result is incorrect. Running a control
test lets you know that the meter and test strips are working properly.
