Using the aCCU‑CHEK aviva Plus System
• Replace the code key and perform a control test every time you open a new test strip box.
• Use the test strip immediately after removing it from the test strip container.
• Do not apply blood or control solution to the test strip before inserting it into the meter. Retest with a new test
strip. If a result appears before applying blood or control solution, do not act on that result.
• Close the test strip container tightly immediately after removing a test strip. Moisture can damage the test
strips and produce incorrect results.
• Store the unused test strips in their original container with the cap tightly closed.
• Discard the test strips if they are past the Use By date printed on the test strip container. If the Use By date is
missing or cannot be read, do not use the test strips. Contact the ACCU‑CHEK Customer Care Service Center at
1‑800‑858‑8072.
• Refer to the test strip package insert for test strip storage and system operating conditions.
• Do not remove test strips from the test strip container and put them into another container, such as a plastic
bag, pocket, purse, wallet, etc.
• Do not reuse test strips. Once control solution or blood has been applied to a test strip, discard it. If a retest is
necessary, use a new test strip.
WarnIng
To prevent inaccurate results:
• DO NOT expose test strips to heat, moisture, or humidity. Temperatures outside the required range, as well
as moisture and humidity, can damage the test strips and lead to inaccurate results.
• DO NOT bend, cut, or alter the test strips.
• DO NOT get dirt, food, or other material on the test strip.
