Frequently Asked Questions

Test strips, coding, and control tests

What are control tests?

A control test using your meter's specific control solution ensures that the meter and test strips are working properly. Testing with control solution is just like a blood sugar test, except you fill the window on the test strip with a drop of control solution instead of blood.

When and why is it helpful to test with a control solution?

Performing a control test lets the user know the meter and test strips are working properly. Perform a control test when:

  •  You open a new test strip box
  •  You left the test strip container open
  •  You think the test strips are damaged
  •  You want to check the meter and test strips
  •  The test strips were stored in extreme temperatures, humidity, or both
  •  You dropped the meter
  •  Your test result does not match how you feel
  •  You want to check if you are performing the test correctly
How do I run a control test?

The Accu-Chek Aviva Nano blood glucose meter automatically recognizes Accu-Chek Aviva control solutions, so running a control test is easier than ever. First, wipe the tip of the control bottle. Then put the meter on a flat surface, insert the test strip, and squeeze a drop of the control solution onto the front edge of the test strip. A result appears with a flashing “L”. Press one of the arrow keys once to indicate a Level 1 control test or twice to indicate Level 2. Press the ON/OFF button to set the level in the meter. The control result and “OK” alternate in the display if the result is in range.

Why do I need to wipe the control solution bottle?

If the control solution evaporates or concentrates on the tip of the bottle, it could cause the meter to display an incorrect control reading.

Do control test values stay in the meter’s memory?

Control test values do not stay in the memory that you can access on the meter. Instead, the meter stores them in the downloadable memory, so you can view them with supported software.

For how long are control solutions good?

Control solutions are good until the expiry date, unless they are opened. Once they have been opened for use, the control solutions are good for 3 months.

Meter care and batteries

Where can I find out what an error code or screen message is telling me?

Visit your meter's Screen Messages page for a list of messages and definitions or download the User Manual for your meter.

How do I set or change the time and date on my meter?

Your meter comes with the batteries already installed and a preset time and date. You may need to change the time to match your time zone or, if you live in a province that observes daylight saving time, to reflect the time change.

  • Press and release the On/Off button to turn the meter on. The flashing test strip symbol appears.
  • Press and hold the On/Off button again until "set-up" appears in the display.
  • Press and release the arrows to decrease or increase the hour.
  • Press and release the On/Off button to set the hour. The minutes flash.
  • Repeat steps 3 and 4 to set the minutes, AM/PM, month, day and year. The flashing field is the one you are changing.

Once you set the correct time and date, press and hold the On/Off button until the flashing test strip symbol appears

Special features

How does the backlight work?

The display turns on automatically when is pressed or a test strip is inserted in the meter. The backlight and meter automatically turn off within 5 seconds after the test strip is removed from the meter, and the meter automatically powers off after 2 minutes of nonuse.

How do the meal markers work?

Marking results with a pre-meal or post-meal marker can provide more information about how food affects your blood sugar, to aid in managing your numbers. You can also use a general marker to identify an alternate site test or post-exercise result. When you review the results in memory, these markers can help you remember what was different about the result. To use a marker:

  • When you perform a test you want to mark, do not remove the test strip.
  • Press and release the right arrow key to toggle through the marker options. When you mark a pre-meal result, you can opt for a post-meal test reminder. The meter can beep 1 or 2 hours after you test to remind you—choose your preference in the set-up mode.
  • When the marker you want to use appears, remove the test strip from the meter.

Refer to your User Manual  for more details.

How do test reminders work?

You can set up to 4 test reminders per day, in 15-minute increments. At the set reminder time(s), a series of beeps will sound every 2 minutes, up to 3 times per reminder. The reminder beep will not occur if the meter is on at the set time, or if you run a test within 15 minutes of the set reminder time. If you turn on the meter while the reminder is sounding, the series of beeps for that reminder will stop.

How do I turn off the test reminder?

Once set, test reminders will beep every 2 minutes up to 3 times. It will turn off when you insert a test strip or press any button. To turn the beeper off all the way, refer to the set-up instructions in your User Manual .
