• During normal testing, any blood glucose meter or lancing device may come in contact
with blood. All parts of the kit are considered biohazardous and can potentially transmit
infectious diseases from bloodborne pathogens, even after you have performed cleaning
and disinfecting.

• The meter and lancing device should never be used by more than one person. Do not share
the meter and lancing device with anyone, including family members, due to the risk of
infection from bloodborne pathogens.
• Cleaning and disinfecting the meter and lancing device destroys most, but not necessarily
all, bloodborne pathogens.
• If the meter is being operated by a second person who is providing testing assistance to
the user, the meter and lancing device should be cleaned and disinfected prior to use by
the second person.
• Disinfect the meter and lancing device before allowing anyone else to handle them. Do not
allow anyone else to test with the meter or lancing device.
• It is important to keep the meter and lancing device clean and disinfected. For instructions
on how to clean and disinfect the meter and lancing device, see the chapter Meter and
Lancing Device Cleaning and Disinfecting.
• Wash hands and dry thoroughly before and after handling the meter, lancing device, or test
strips.
NOTE
• Perform a control test when you open a new test strip box or if you think that a test result is
incorrect. Performing a control test lets you know that the meter and test strips are working
properly.
• Refer to the test strip and control solution package inserts for additional health-related
information.
• Blood glucose and BG are interchangeable and mean the same thing.

Questions and answers
I have replaced batteries according to the instructions, have checked and recked batteries are in correct positions, now, nothing comes up on screen
The Accu-Chek Guide Me meter may not be turning on after replacing the batteries due to the following reasons:
1. Incorrect Battery Installation – Ensure that both CR2032 lithium batteries are inserted with the positive side facing up and properly positioned under the black tabs.
2. Loose Battery Door – The battery door must be securely snapped in place to hold the batteries correctly.
3. Old or Faulty Batteries – Make sure both batteries are new, from the same brand, and properly charged.
4. Damaged Battery Contacts – Check for any dirt or damage on the battery contacts inside the meter.
5. Meter Malfunction – If the issue persists, the meter may need to be reset or checked by customer support.
Try reinstalling the batteries correctly and ensuring the battery door is secure. If the problem continues, consider replacing the batteries again or contacting Accu-Chek Customer Care.
