Frequently Asked Questions

Testing blood glucose

Why does the test sometimes start even if yellow is still showing in the strip window?

The system automatically detects when enough blood has been applied to the strip and begins the test, even if some yellow is still visible. The only time you need to apply more blood is when the blood drop symbol continues to flash in the display.

What happens if I do not apply enough blood on the test strip?

An E4 displays on the meter, indicating not enough blood was drawn into the test strip for measurement or blood was applied after the test had started. You should discard the test strip and repeat the blood sugar test.

Can I use a blood sample from other areas on my body?

Yes. In addition to the fingertip, you can collect blood samples from the palm, forearm or upper arm. Talk with your healthcare professional before deciding if alternate site testing is right for you.

Meter care and batteries

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.

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.

Special features

What types of averages are available?

There are three types of averages: general, pre-meal and post-meal. To view results and averages, press and release left and right arrows to view stored results. The most recent test result appears on the display.

  • Press the left arrow to view previous test results from newest to oldest.
  • Press the right arrow to view 7-, 14-, 30- and 90-day general averages
  • Continue to press the right arrow to view 7-, 14-, 30- and 90-day pre-meal and post-meal averages

 

What type of test results can be marked?

To mark a test result or set a post-meal reminder:

  1. Perform a test. The result appears on the display.
  2. Leave the test strip in the meter. Press and release or to toggle through test result markers and the post-meal reminder:
    • Pre -meal marker
    • Pre-meal marker with post-meal reminder
    • Post-meal marker
    • General marker
  3. When the marker or test reminder you wish to select appears on the display, remove the test strip from the meter.
Does the meter support a reminder function?

Yes. If the post-meal reminder marker is selected, the meter will beep 2 hours after the pre-meal test to remind you to perform a post-meal test. You can change the post-meal test reminder to 1 hour after the pre-meal test.

How do the test reminders work?

You can set up to 4 test reminders per day. At the set reminder time, the meter will beep every 2 minutes, up to 3 times per reminder. The meter will not beep if the meter is on at the reminder time, or if a test has been run within 30 minutes of the reminder time.

Test Strips and control tests

Can I use a test strip from another Accu-Chek system in the Accu-Chek Aviva blood glucose meter?

No. Accu-Chek Aviva blood glucose meters are designed exclusively for use with Accu-Chek Aviva test strips.

Can I use an expired test strip?

No, check the use by date on the test strip container. Do not use test strips past the use by date.

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
