Frequently Asked Questions

Test strip

Has anything changed with the test strips?

The new Accu‑Chek Instant test strip utilizes the FAD-GDH chemistry. This

system is the most accurate in the history of our organization. It meets the 10/10

standards for accuracy.

Does the Accu‑Chek Instant meter require coding?

No, Accu‑Chek Instant meters do not require manual coding.

Will my Accu-Chek Active, Accu‑Chek Aviva or Accu‑Chek Performa test strips work with Accu‑Chek Instant meters?

No, there is no compatibility between the Accu‑Chek Instant test strips with these and other Accu‑Chek systems.

Accu‑Chek Instant test strips are compatible with Accu‑Chek Instant S Meter.

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 to the opening along the end of the strip can be quickly pulled into the test strip.

How much blood does a test strip require?

The Accu‑Chek Instant test strip requires only a small speck of blood (0.6 μL).

Can I apply blood to any part of a test strip? Does it influence test results?

The easy-edge of the Accu‑Chek Instant test strip has the largest dosing window of any major blood glucose test strip. It can be dosed anywhere along the edge and automatically absorbs the blood from the patient’s finger. Regardless of where dosed along the edge, the system provides a fast, accurate result.

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. However, there is a slight pause in testing that allows for the patient to take full use of the available blood from their finger.

What happens if the user does not apply enough blood on the test strip?

As with today’s products, the user will receive an E-4 error code.

Accuracy

What is the “10/10 standard” for the Accu‑Chek Instant test strip?

10/10 references an ISO-compliant internal testing protocol. For three different lots of test strips, 95% of BG results must fall within ±10 mg/dL of reference result at glucose concentrations < 100 mg/dL or within ± 10% at glucose concentrations ≥ 100 mg/dL.

Is this the most accurate system in the market today?

The Accu‑Chek Instant meter is one of the most accurate systems our organization has ever manufactured and meets ISO 15197:2013/EN ISO 15197:2015 standards for accuracy. It has 10/10 analytical accuracy.

Will a low battery cause inaccurate test results?

No, the Accu‑Chek Instant meters are designed to ensure that the battery power level

will not impact results given by the meter.

How is the accuracy when compared with other Accu-Chek meters?

The Accu‑Chek Instant meters is our latest development in accuracy from a pioneer in blood glucose testing technologies. This is one of the most accurate meters in our portfolio.
