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

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.

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.

The error code E-4 and Err will alternate on the display. This indicates that not enough blood or control solution was drawn into the test strip for measurement or was applied after the test had started. The user should discard the test strip and repeat the blood glucose or control test.

Yes, as with any test strip, heat, humidity and other environmental conditions can affect strips.

There are many considerations taken into account when determining the opening force for a test strip vial:​ 

› Humidity entering the vial—this would affect shelf life​ 

› Vials opening during manufacturing​ 

› Vials opening during shipping 

There are trade-offs to making a vial take less force to open:​

› More scrap in manufacturing​ 

› More vials open during shipping (which could result in scrapped or returned product)​
