Coding/Calibrating Your Meter

What is coding/calibrating, and when is it necessary?

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/calibrating.

To ensure accuracy of your blood glucose
monitoring system, you must change your code key
with each new box of test strips. Each code key
provides your meter with the specific information
that your meter needs to accurately measure your
blood glucose. Do not use code keys with your
Accu-Chek Sensor Meter from any test strip
manufacturer or system other than the Accu-Chek
Sensor System from Roche Diagnostics. Use of other
manufacturers’ code keys may result in erroneous
results with your system.
