Using the Accu‑Chek Performa Nano System
• Use only Accu‑Chek Performa or Accu‑Chek Inform II test strips.
• Use the test strip immediately after removing it from the test strip container.
• Do not apply blood or control solution to the test strip before inserting it into the meter.
• Close the test strip container tightly immediately after removing a test strip to protect the test strips from
humidity.
• Store the unused test strips in their original test strip container with the cap closed.
• Check the use by date on the test strip container. Do not use the test strips after that date.
• Store the test strip container and meter in a cool, dry place such as a bedroom.
• Refer to the test strip package insert for test strip storage and system operating conditions.
WARNING
Do not store test strips in high heat and moisture areas (bathroom or kitchen)! Heat and moisture can
damage test strips.
NOTE
Your meter comes with a pre‑inserted activation chip. If you are using Accu‑Chek Performa test strips, you
never need to change the black activation chip. The black activation chip is not for use with Accu‑Chek
Inform II test strips. If you are using Accu‑Chek Inform II test strips, remove the black activation chip and
discard it. See the Accu‑Chek Inform II test strip package insert for instructions on coding the meter.
