Frequently Asked Questions

Accu-Chek Instant Test Strips

What is the purpose of the Accu-Chek Instant meters strip ejector?

The strip ejector allows a user to dispose of a used test strip hygienically.

The Accu-Chek Instant test strip is smaller than my current test strip, will I be able to use it?

The Accu-Chek Instant system was designed to assist users to easily conduct a test. Several features were designed for this purpose:

Easy-edge test strip has a wide application area compared to leading brands
Strips are placed electrode end down in the vial, so that they can be inserted easily into the meter with minimal handling
The used strip can easily and hygienically be removed from the meter with the strip ejector

Will my Accu-Chek Aviva, Accu-Chek Performa or Accu-Chek Guide test strips work with the Accu-Chek Instant?

No, there is no compatibility between the Accu-Chek Instant meter and these other Accu-Chek test strips.

Can I touch the test strips?

Yes, a clear protective barrier runs along the entire length of the test strip to protect the strip and chemistry. Blood applied anywhere along the yellow edge of the strip can be quickly pulled into the test strip.

Can I add a second drop of blood to the test strip after the test has started?

No, there is no ability to squeeze extra blood from the finger to dose a strip a second time.

Does the meter lock the user out if the test strips have expired?

No, the meter will not lock a user out if they have used expired test strips.

Device settings

What are the default target ranges?

In range: 3.9-8.9 mmol/L, below range: 0.6-3.8 mmol/L, above range: 9.0–33.3 mmol/L.

Can the user delete stored results?

With the Accu-Chek Instant meter, it is not necessary to delete stored results. Once 720 blood glucose results are in the memory; adding a new result causes the oldest one to be deleted. Additional editing solutions for results are available with the mySugr app.

Coding

Does the Accu-Chek Instant meter require coding?

No, the Accu-Chek Instant meter does not require manual coding.

Connect meter to mySugr® app

Can more than one meter be paired to the mySugr app?

iOS users can pair a maximum of three blood glucose meters. Android devices allow a maximum of one meter to pair.

What will happen if I change my smartphone?

Can I retrieve my data when I reinstall the mySugr app in the new smartphone? When you create your mySugr account, your data is stored with that account in a secure and compliant manner. If you change mobile devices or have to re-install the mySugr app, pair your meter to the app. Data synchronisation with the app happens automatically as soon as the app has connection to the internet, users don’t have to do manual backups.

Once the meter is paired, will data transfer automatically to the mySugr app or does the app have to be opened on the smartphone every time synchronisation is needed?

When the meter is paired with the mySugr app, each blood glucose result will be transferred automatically, once the app is opened. However, the meter and smartphone must be within 3 meters to transfer successfully. If the app is not open, the value will not be transferred automatically. However, with the next successful import, all blood glucose values will be imported. There is not any loss of data.
