Frequently Asked Questions

General questions

How does Roche assure that the Accu-Chek Aviva system provides accurate results?

Roche goes above and beyond to deliver safe, accurate and dependable products.
For every lot of Accu-Chek test strips, containing millions of strips, one out of every 100 vials is tested for consistency of performance
Vials representative of the entire lot are tested a second time, some in a lab setting and others with blood from actual people with diabetes to reflect a real-world environment As a result of our quality assurance process, we won’t release affected test strips when any of the samples show a reading outside our accepted limits.

Also, the Accu-Chek Aviva fulfills ISO 15197 : 2013 accuracy standard.

How should my meter tests compare with lab results?

Because your monitor and lab tests don't measure the same thing, these numbers are likely to vary. Lab tests generally test plasma, but a meter uses whole blood. As a result, even if you take both tests at the exact same time, your meter is likely to show a lower number than the lab results. This is perfectly acceptable, and your healthcare professional will already be factoring this in.

Is the Accu-Chek Aviva system approved for use in clinical settings such as hospitals?

The Accu-Chek Aviva meter is not approved for use in clinical settings in the United States and Canada, although the Accu-Chek Aviva meter is cleared to test capillary blood samples.

Meter care and batteries

How do I change the battery in my Accu-Chek Aviva blood glucose meter?

Make sure you have a new 3-volt, lithium battery, number CR2032, to insert. Open the battery door on the back of the meter, remove the old battery for at least 20 seconds, and press any button on the meter. Insert the new battery with the “+” sign facing out. Snap the battery door back into place. Press the on/off button, and the meter will beep. Setup and hour are flashing on the display. If the date and time are correct, press and hold the on/off button for about 4 seconds. Release the button, and you’re done.

What type of battery is used?

The meter uses 1 3-volt lithium coin cell battery (type CR 2032) found in many stores.

Is the time and date or memory lost when the battery is removed?

The meter includes an additional internal battery that retains the time and date for up to 72 hours. So when the battery is changed, no memory is lost.

When should the meter and lancing device be cleaned and disinfected?

Clean the meter to remove visible dirt or other material prior to disinfecting.

• Clean and disinfect the meter at least once per week and when blood is present on the surface of the meter.

• Clean and disinfect the meter before allowing anyone else to handle the meter. Do not allow anyone else to use the meter on themselves for testing purposes.

What is the difference between cleaning and disinfecting?

Cleaning is simply removing dirt from the meter, while disinfecting refers to removal of most but not all, disease-causing and other types of microorganisms.

What can I use to clean and disinfect the meter ?

Sani-Cloth® Plus Germicidal disposable cloths.

What parts of the meter should be cleaned and disinfected?

Be sure to clean the areas around slots and openings, while being careful not to get any moisture in them. You should also wipe down the entire meter surface, including the meter display.

Testing blood glucose

How can I make it easier to get a drop of blood?

There are a few ways you can improve blood flow and make blood sugar testing easier: Warm your fingers by washing with warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry completely. Let your arm hang down at your side to increase blood flow to the fingertips. Grasp finger just below the joint closest to the fingertip and massage gently toward tip of finger, then squeeze for 3 seconds. Use an Accu-Chek lancing device set to the right penetration depth for your skin type. Refer to your User's Guide for additional information.

How large is the sample size for a blood sugar test?

It's a small sample—just 0.6 microliter.
