The Accu-Chek Active blood glucose meter is a precision instrument that enables you to test your blood glucose simply and with confidence.
Main features:
- Testing in record time: With a testing time of about 5 seconds, the Accu-Chek is one of the fastest blood glucose meters available
- Tiny blood sample: The Accu-Chek Active requires only a tiny drop of blood - 1 to 2 µl - if you apply the blood drop to the middle to the test pad. If at any time the drop you apply is too small, the meter will detect this and issue a warning.
- Easy to operate: No need to press buttons when you carry out the test
- Easy-to-use data analysis function: Accu-Chek has a 200-value memory for saving results (together with date and timestamp) as well as an infrared interface for communicating with a PC running a suitable analysis program
- Integrated data evaluation: From the results stored in memory your meter can calculate the average of your blood glucose results over the last 7 or 14 days
- Out-of-meter dosing: After activating the test cycle you may remove the test strip to apply blood and then insert it again in the meter
- Accurate results: Application of blood to the test strip starts a colour reaction. The final colour is accurately read (measured photometrically) by the meter's optical system and the result is converted to a blood glucose value
- Dependable coding: Each pack of test strips contains a coding chip that holds all of the important information that is needed to evaluate the strips from that particular pack. Whenever you open a new pack of strips, simply insert the new coding chip in the coding chip slot
- Easy-to-read display: Numbers and messages are clearly presented on a spacious display screen. Clear symbols give you additional easy-to-follow instructions.
- Intelligent power supply: Accu-Chek Active shuts off automatically after 1-2 minutes of non-use. Naturally, all of your results and other data remain safe in memory. Also, you receive a warning when the battery has only enough power for about 50 tests.
