Initial steps before testing

2.1

Checking the contents

Check that your meter kit is complete. The package contents are listed
on the box.
If anything is missing, please call Accu-Chek Customer Care at
1-800-363-7949. Details are given at the end of this User's Manual.
2.2

Checking the blood glucose unit

Blood glucose results can be displayed in two different units of
measurement (mmol/L or mg/dL). Consequently, Roche sells two
different versions of the same meter. If you do not know which is the
right unit for you, ask your doctor.
Check that your meter displays the unit that is right for you, in
Canada mmol/L.
Check the unit by referring to the type plate and to the display window
during a display check (see the following pages).
Note
The unit that your meter displays cannot be changed. If the
wrong unit is printed on the type plate, ask your healthcare
professional to change the meter or contact your Accu-Chek
Customer Care. Using the wrong unit can cause you to
misinterpret the test results.
