Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Which meters do these strips work with?
A: Accu-Chek Instant-family meters (e.g., Accu-Chek Instant/Instant S/Instant Plus; check your meter). They are not compatible with Accu-Chek Guide, Performa, Active or other brands.

Q: How much blood do I need?
A: Only a small drop is required. Touch the drop to the edge of the strip’s dosing window—capillary action will draw it in automatically.

Q: Do I need to code the meter?
A: No. Instant strips are no-coding; just insert a strip and apply blood when prompted.

Q: Where should I test—finger only or alternate sites?
A: Fingerstick is standard. Some users may use alternate sites if their meter’s manual allows; discuss with your healthcare professional for suitability and technique.

Q: How do I store the strips?
A: Keep strips in their original vial with the cap tightly closed. Store at the temperature range shown on the label, away from heat, humidity and direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate or freeze.

Q: What if I get an error or a low reading I don’t expect?
A: Wash and dry hands thoroughly, repeat with a new strip, and ensure adequate blood fill. If results don’t match how you feel, follow your sick-day plan or contact your healthcare professional.

Q: Can I use control solution?
A: Yes—use Accu-Chek control solution (as directed on your meter/strip instructions) to check system performance, especially with a new vial or if results seem unusual.

Q: What is the expiry/in-use period?
A: Use before the expiry date printed on the vial. Once opened, keep the cap closed promptly; follow any in-use guidance on your pack.

Q: How do I dispose of used strips and lancets?
A: Place lancets into an approved sharps container. Used strips can go into household waste unless local rules require otherwise. Follow your local disposal regulations.

Q: Will medications affect results?
A: Some rare interferences can affect glucose readings. If you take high-dose vitamin C, maltose-containing therapies, or have other concerns, speak to your healthcare professional.
