Introduction

Accu-Chek Compact is a
completely new type of blood
glucose meter for people
with diabetes who test
their own blood glucose
regularly. We have
designed it to be as
easy and safe to use as
possible. You will
quickly discover that
Accu-Chek Compact
is a reliable blood
glucose meter that
you can take any-
where.
Operating
Accu-Chek
Compact is easy:
there is just one
button to press to
perform a test. You
no longer have to
handle individual test
strips, as they now
come conveniently
loaded in a drum. Each
drum holds 17 strips and
two simple steps are all
it takes to insert the drum into the meter.
Coding occurs automatically. When you want to
take a blood glucose reading, just press
the button and a test strip moves from the
drum into the correct position. Once you have
completed the test, just press the button again
and the strip is ejected automatically. Your results
are stored in memory and can be transferred to
your computer if you wish. Accu-Chek Compass
Software is available separately. Accu-Chek
Compact stores up to 100 test results together
with date and time.
We recommend that you use an Accu-Chek
Softclix lancing device to obtain capillary blood
samples. Blood collection with an Accu-Chek
Softclix lancing device is virtually painless.
With Accu-Chek Compact you have all you need
to monitor your blood glucose quickly and
simply, anywhere, at any time.
