1.2 Main features
With your Accu-Chek Integra blood glucose meter you can test your
blood glucose simply and with confidence.
Test strip drum instead of individual test strips
You never need to touch a test strip. Simply insert a drum with 17 test
strips into the Accu-Chek Integra meter.
Easy to operate
Turn on the meter, apply blood, read the result, press the button to eject
the test strip.
Automatic coding
Every test strip drum has its own bar code. The Accu-Chek Integra blood
glucose meter is automatically coded when you insert a new drum,
a process which provides the meter with information on the specific
characteristics of the test strips.
Reliability
The Accu-Chek Integra blood glucose meter checks each test strip. If it
finds a defective strip, it lets you know before you apply blood.
Blood volume checking
The Accu-Chek Integra blood glucose meter can tell when you have
applied sufficient blood (approximately 1.5 µL (1 microlitre = 1 thou-
sandth of a millilitre). It waits until then before starting the measure-
ment. If the measurement does not start, you may apply more blood.
Easier way of dosing blood
Blood is drawn up into the test strip through capillary action. This means
that the collection of blood from alternative sites, such as the forearm,
the upper arm or the base of the thumb, is much easier.
Downloading data to a PC
The Accu-Chek Integra blood glucose meter has an infrared interface
which enables you to download results to a PC running suitable soft-
ware.
We recommend that you use an Accu-Chek Softclix lancing device to
obtain capillary blood samples (see Part 2 of this booklet).
