Testing blood glucose
The Accu-Chek Integra meter is intended for use by one person
only.
Use of the same Accu-Chek Integra meter by more than one
person or for performing blood glucose measurements in more
than one person poses an infection risk.
Any object coming into contact with human blood is a potential
source of infection (see: National Committee for Clinical Labora-
tory Standards: Protection of Laboratory Workers from Instru-
ment Biohazards and Infectious Disease Transmitted by Blood,
Body Fluids, and Tissue. Approved Guideline, NCCLS document
M29-A, 1997).
Keep the test strip away from skin unless you are touching it
against blood. Residues (e.g. of skin cream, food or drink) on
the skin can find their way onto the strip and may produce incor-
rect results. Incorrect results can cause the wrong therapeutic
decision to be taken and so produce adverse health effects.
Do not bend the test strip, or the following
error message will be displayed.
