Accucheck helps you test with ease and uses highly accurate accucheck test strips.The meter system has simple and advanced features to meet your testing needs, from basic to more in-depth.The meters will display blood glucose measurements in your country’s standard metric (mmol/L).
Measuring principle: Mutant variant of the glucose dehydrogenase quinone protein (Mut. Q-GDH 2, modified variant of EC 1.1.5.2), acinetobacter spec; photometric end-point measurement
Measuring time: Approximately 5 seconds (blood application with test strip within the meter)Approximately 8 seconds (blood application with test strip outside the meter)
Temperature: +8 to +42 °C
Humidity: Up to 93 % relative humidity
Storage conditions without battery: -25 to +70 °C
Memory capacity: Up to 500 values with date and time
Test averages: 7, 14, 30, 90 days
Data transfer: Via USB interface (with Micro-USB cable)
Automatic coding: New models are pre-coded. Older models require once off installation of a black code chip.
Dimensions: 97.8 x 46.8 x 19.1 mm
Weight: 46 g without battery, 50 g with battery
Display: 96 segments LCD display with symbols
Beep tone: Yes (Factory setting ON)
Battery: 1 battery, type CR 2032
Battery life: Approximately 1 000 measurements or one year (whichever comes first)
Auto power off: 30 or 90 seconds according to operating status
Underdosing detection: Yes
Altitude independence: 0 to 4,000m (0 to 13,123 feet)
Blood volume: 1 to 2 μL
Measuring range: 10 mg/dL to 600 mg/dL, 0.6 mmol/L to 33.3 mmol/L
Sample types: Capillary blood
If the test strip is removed from the meter to apply blood: Venous blood anticoagulated with lithium heparin or ammonium heparin or EDTA, arterial blood and blood from neonates
Sample dosing: Blood application onto the middle of the test pad. The test strip (and its components) has the function to spread the blood above the test area in a quick and hygienic way
Dosing options: Blood can be applied to an already inserted test strip, or a test strip outside the meter. Outside of the meter dosing is helpful to minimise the risk of contamination when a meter has multiple users (e.g. in a hospital) and, in case of alternative site testing, to facilitate blood application
Re-dosing capability: Additional blood can be added to the test strip within 10 seconds after applying the first drop (applies for inside mode)
Visual colour check: Plausibility check option with 5 colour blocks on the test strip vial
Haematocrit range: 20 to 55 % (within-meter mode), 20 to 70 % (outside-meter mode)
Test strip stability: 18 months after production date. The test strips remain stable at least up to the expiry date printed on the test strip vial, even after opening (the test strip container must be closed tightly after each test strip is removed)
