Accu-Chek Aviva test strips

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, as this could cause measurements to be incorrect. Please ensure that you carry enough valid test strips.

Using test strips that have expired can cause your results to be inaccurate. If your test strips have expired, throw them away and begin using a new vial of strips. The expiration date is printed on every vial of test strips.

The system in your meter automatically detects when enough blood has been applied to the strip and begins the test, even if some yellow is still visible. 

The only time you need to apply more blood is when the blood drop symbol continues to flash in the display.
