00048010161/E • Carefully dispose of used test strips and lancets. • Home use of the Accu-Chek Aviva Combo System is limited to capillary whole blood testing. About Your New Meter • The meter is designed and can be used for testing fresh capillary whole blood samples (for example, blood from a fingertip).
Page 4 About Testing Yourself or Others • If you are very dehydrated or urinating frequently, you may get an inaccurate test result. If you think you are dehydrated, call your healthcare professional right away. • Some people with diabetes do not experience symptoms of low blood glucose (hypoglycemia). Others, such as children or people who are unconscious or have certain disabilities, may not be able to communicate their symptoms to caregivers.
Page 5 DO NOT CHANGE YOUR TREATMENT BASED ON A SINGLE RESULT THAT DOES NOT MATCH HOW YOU FEEL OR IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR TEST RESULT COULD BE INCORRECT. If your blood glucose result doesn’t match how you feel and you have followed the instructions in your owner’s booklets, follow your healthcare professional’s instructions or call your healthcare professional.

7. Are you still unsure of the problem? Contact Accu-Chek Customer Care at 1-800-688-4578. After performing a control test and repeating a blood glucose test, if your blood glucose results still do not match the way you feel, contact your healthcare professional immediately.
Page 74: Symptoms Of High Or Low Blood Glucose
LO or HI, contact your healthcare professional immediately. • The meter is designed to display blood glucose results from 0.6 to 33.3 mmol/L. If a result below 0.6 mmol/L or over 33.3 mmol/L appears on the display, call Accu-Chek Customer Care at 1-800-688-4578.
Page 75 Comparing Your Meter Result to a Lab Result A common question is how the blood glucose results on your meter compare to the lab results. Your blood glucose can change quickly, especially after eating, taking medication, or physical activity. If you test yourself in the morning and then go to the healthcare professional’s office for a blood glucose test, your results will probably not match, even if you are fasting.
