How To Use
- Preparation: Wash and dry hands thoroughly with warm, soapy water to avoid contamination. Sanitize the monitor and lancing device with an alcohol swab before use.
- Insert an Accu-Chek Instant S test strip (metallic end) into the monitor. The device turns on automatically, and a flashing drop symbol appears.
- Use the Accu-Chek Softclix lancing device to prick the side of a fingertip. Gently press to obtain a small blood drop (0.6 µL).
- Touch the yellow edge of the test strip to the blood drop. Remove your finger when the flashing hourglass symbol appears on the display.
- View results in less than 4 seconds. An arrow indicates if the result is above, within, or below the target range (customizable to personal goals).
Data Tracking: Press the side button to view 7-day, 30-day, or 90-day blood glucose averages. Pair the monitor with the mySugr app via Bluetooth (enter the PIN on the back of the monitor) for detailed tracking.
Post-Test: Discard used test strips and lancets in a sharps container for safe disposal. Do not reuse strips or lancets.
Optional: Upload data to the Accu-Chek Connect Online portal via USB for further analysis.
