Before You Start Testing - Roche Accu-Check Aviva Plus Manual Del Usuario

NOTE
• Perform a control test when you open a new test strip box or if you think that a test result is incorrect.
Performing a control test lets you know that the meter and test strips are working properly.
• Refer to the test strip and control solution package inserts for additional health-related information.
Special Information for Caregivers
• Do not use the meter system to measure blood glucose in people who are experiencing cardiovascular
collapse (severe shock) or decreased peripheral blood flow.
• Consult your healthcare professional to determine if it is appropriate for your child to be taught how to use
the meter system or any other medical products.
• Some people with diabetes do not experience symptoms of low blood glucose (hypoglycemia). Others, such
as children or people who are unconscious or have certain disabilities, may not be able to communicate
their symptoms to caregivers. For these reasons, do not change any therapy without first talking to a
healthcare professional.
• Not for use on critically ill patients, patients in shock, dehydrated patients, or hyperosmolar patients.

Before You Start Testing

WARNING
• Carefully read and follow the instructions in the Owner's Booklet and package inserts for the test
strips and control solution. It is very important to follow the instructions in order to avoid an incorrect
test result that leads to improper therapy.
• Inspect the test strip container before using the test strips for the first time. If you see any damage
to the container cap or if anything prevents the cap from closing properly, do not use the test strips.
Contact the Accu-Chek Customer Care Service Center. Damaged test strips can cause inaccurate
results, which could lead to improper therapy.
• The meter, test strips, and control solution are only for use outside the body (in vitro). Do not eat the
test strips. Do not swallow or inject the control solution or use the control solution for any purpose
other than testing the Accu-Chek Aviva Plus system.
NOTE
Set the time and date on the meter before you begin testing.
