Important Information About the Meter
• This meter is designed for testing fresh whole blood samples. The meter is for in vitro
(outside the body) use. It should not be used to diagnose diabetes.
• The meter requires Accu-Chek Performa Test Strips. Other test strips will give inaccurate
results.
• The meter comes with a preset time and date which may need to be set to the local time
zone.
Patients receiving peritoneal dialysis using solutions containing icodextrin
(e.g. Extraneal) should not use the Accu-Chek Performa Test Strip. It could cause
an overestimation of glucose results.
