Using The Accu-Chek Compact Plus System - Accu-Chek Compact Plus Owner's Booklet

Using the ACCU‑CHEK Compact Plus System
• Only use ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus test strips. Using other test strips with this meter will produce
inaccurate results.
• Perform a control test every time you open a new box of test strips.
• Refer to the test strip package insert for test strip storage and system operating conditions.
• Store the test drum in its original container with the cap closed. Moisture can damage the test strips and
produce incorrect results.
• Do not remove test drums from the drum container and put them into another container, such as a plastic
bag, pocket, purse, wallet, etc.
• Use only test drums on which the aluminum foil is intact on both sides.
• Discard the test drum if it is past the "Use by" date printed on the test drum container. If the "Use by" date
is missing or cannot be read, do not use the test drum. Visit our web site at www.accu-chek.com/support
or call the ACCU-CHEK Customer Care Service Center at 1-800-858-8072.
• Never push any test strip back into the meter or the test drum. These test strips can produce incorrect
results.
• If you do not turn off the meter after a test, the meter turns off automatically after about 60 seconds. The
result is saved in the memory. The test strip then remains in the meter. When you slide and release
turn on the meter, it simply releases the test strip and turns itself off again.
