Coding the Meter
What is coding and when is it necessary?
Before you use the meter for the first time and every
time you open a new box of test strips, you need
to set the meter to “match” the test strips. This is
called coding.
To ensure accuracy of your blood glucose system,
you must change the code chip with each new box
of test strips. Each code chip provides the meter
with the specific information that the meter needs
to accurately measure blood glucose. Do not use
code chips with your Accu-Chek Advantage Meter
from any test strip manufacturer or system other
than the Accu-Chek Advantage System from Roche
Diagnostics. Use of other manufacturers’ code chips
may result in erroneous results with the system.
