The Accu-Chek Aviva meter is easy to operate and, thanks to the preset time and date, enables the user to begin testing quickly.
Testing Blood Glucose
Put a test strip into the meter and verify that the code number displayed on the screen matches code number on test strip container. Test strip and blood drop symbols appear on the display.
Use the Accu-Chek Multiclix finger pricker to obtain a drop of blood as per the Accu-Chek Multiclix guide to use. Touch the drop of blood to the front edge of the yellow window on the test strip—do not apply to top of the strip or yellow window. A flashing hourglass indicates enough blood has been applied. If necessary, more blood can be applied within 5 seconds. The result appears in the display.
In addition to fingertip testing, the Accu-Chek Aviva system can be used for testing on alternate sites, including the palm, forearm, upper arm, thigh or calf.1 Alternate site testing requires the use of a special lancet cap.
