Welcome

Thank you for selecting the Accu-Chek Compact
The key benefits of this meter over other blood glucose
meters are:
1. No more individual strip handling:
• Test strips are now loaded in a test drum, with
each test drum containing 17 test strips.
• When the test drum is inserted, the meter
automatically moves the test drum to the correct
position and reads the code on the test drum.
2. Automatic strip delivery and ejection:
• Simply press the TEST button and a test strip
advances from the test drum.
• Gently touch the front edge of the test strip to the
drop of blood on your fingertip. The strip will draw
up the blood automatically.
• Once a test is done and you have received your
blood sugar result, the strip is ejected easily.
3. Automatic coding:
• The meter codes itself by reading the barcode
on the label of the test drum when the test drum
is inserted.
