Accu-Chek Aviva

With the Accu-Chek Aviva meter turned on and the flashing strip symbol on the display, press and hold the ON/OFF button for about 4 seconds until "set-up" and the hour is flashing on the display.

The Accu-Chek Aviva meter automatically recognises Accu-Chek Aviva control solutions, so running a control test is easier than ever. First, wipe the tip of the control bottle. Then put the meter on a flat surface, insert the test strip, and squeeze a drop of the control solution onto the front edge of the test strip. A result appears with a flashing “L”. Press one of the arrow keys once to indicate a Level 1 control test or twice to indicate Level 2. Press the ON/OFF button to set the level in the meter. The control result and “OK” alternate in the display if the result is in range.

The user will receive an error message if the control result is out of range.

The target expiration date is 18 months from the date of manufacture.

Before the user doses the test strip, the Accu-Chek Aviva meter runs quality checks of the strip chemistry to make sure the strip will give a valid test result. This ensures that the strip has not been exposed to outside environmental factors, such as humidity.

No. Accu-Chek Aviva meters are designed exclusively for use with Accu-Chek Aviva test strips.

All black code chips with 111 on them can be used in the Accu-Chek Aviva, Accu-Chek Aviva Nano or Accu-Chek Aviva Expert meters.

In the UK and Ireland it is not approved for use in clinical settings, although the Accu-Chek Aviva system is cleared to test capillary, venous, arterial, and neonatal blood samples.

An additional internal battery supports the clock when the main battery is removed. You can leave the battery out of the Accu-Chek Aviva meter for 72 hours and still retain the time and date. If you replace the battery within that time, the meter will ask you to verify the time and date. The internal battery will automatically recharge. If you do not replace the battery within 72 hours, the meter will retain the time and date that was stored before the 72 hours. 

The Accu-Chek Aviva blood glucose monitoring system will work on the 3 main AST areas: forearm, palm and upper arm. Most common are palm and forearm. AST areas have a lower blood circulation than the fingertip. Therefore a change in blood glucose will show with a delay compared to blood taken from the finger tip. Please discuss with your healthcare professional before starting to practice alternate site testing.
