Dear ACCU‑CHEK System Owner,
Thank you for choosing the ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus system!
Congratulations on your decision to take control of your diabetes. We have designed your new ACCU-CHEK
Compact Plus system with comfort, convenience, and control in mind to help make living with diabetes a
little easier.
This booklet will help you get the most from your ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus system.
To start testing quickly, refer to the First Time Guide.
For questions, visit our web site at www.accu-chek.com/support or call the ACCU-CHEK Customer Care
Service Center at 1-800-858-8072. We offer assistance in many languages. You can also visit
www.accu-chek.com for diabetes management tools and product demonstrations.
Thanks again for choosing the ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus system.
WARNING
Before using the system, please read the Important Safety Information section on the following
pages.

The ACCU‑CHEK Compact Plus System
The ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be used for the quantitative
measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from the ngertips or palm.
The ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be used by a single person
and should not be shared.
The ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for self testing outside the body
(in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes
control. The ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus Blood Glucose Monitoring System should not be used for the
diagnosis of or screening of diabetes or for neonatal use. Alternate site testing should be done only during
steady-state times (when glucose is not changing rapidly).
The ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus test strips are for use with the ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus Blood Glucose
Meter to quantitatively measure glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from the
ngertips or palm.
This system is intended to be used by a single person and should not be shared.
NOTE
In this Owner’s Booklet the term “blood glucose” is used when referring to “blood sugar.”

Important Safety Information
WARNING
• During normal testing any blood glucose meter or lancing device may come in contact with
blood. All parts of the kit are considered biohazardous and can potentially transmit infectious
diseases from bloodborne pathogens, even after you have performed cleaning and disinfection.
1,2
• Cleaning and disinfecting the meter and lancing device destroys most, but not necessarily all,
bloodborne pathogens.
3
• The meter and lancing device should never be used by more than one person. Do not share the
meter and lancing device with anyone, including family members, due to the risk of infection
from bloodborne pathogens.
1,2
• If the meter is being operated by a second person who is providing testing assistance to the
user, the meter and lancing device should be cleaned and disinfected prior to use by the second
person.
• Disinfect the meter and lancing device before allowing anyone else to handle them. Do not allow
anyone else to test with the meter or lancing device.
• It is important to keep the meter and lancing device clean and disinfected. For instructions on
how to clean and disinfect the meter and lancing device, see Chapter 5 “Cleaning and
Disinfecting the Meter and Lancing Device.”
• Wash hands thoroughly before and after handling the meter, lancing device, or test strips.

About Testing Yourself or Others
WARNING
• If you are very dehydrated or urinating frequently, you may get an inaccurate test result. If you
think you are dehydrated, contact your healthcare professional right away.
• DO NOT CHANGE YOUR TREATMENT BASED ON A SINGLE RESULT THAT DOES NOT MATCH HOW
YOU FEEL OR IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR TEST RESULT COULD BE INCORRECT.
• Some people with diabetes do not experience symptoms of low blood glucose (hypoglycemia).
Others, such as children or people who are unconscious or have certain disabilities, may not be
abletocommunicatetheirsymptomstocaregivers.Forthesereasons,donotchangeany
treatmentwithoutrsttalkingtoahealthcareprofessional.
• It is always a good idea to have a back‑up testing method available. Failure to test could cause
a delay in treatment decisions and lead to a serious medical condition. Examples of back‑up
testing methods include a back‑up meter or testing by a laboratory. Ask your healthcare
professional or pharmacist about other possible back‑up methods.
• If your blood glucose result does not match how you feel and you have followed the instructions
in this Owner’s Booklet, follow your healthcare professional’s instructions, or contact your
healthcare professional.
• If peripheral circulation is impaired, collection of capillary whole blood from the approved
samplesitesisnotadvisedastheresultsmightnotbeatruereectionofthephysiological
blood glucose level. This may apply in the following circumstances: Severe dehydration as a
result of diabetic ketoacidosis or due to hyperglycemic hyperosmolar non‑ketotic syndrome,
hypotension, shock, decompensated heart failure NYHA Class IV, or peripheral arterial occlusive
disease.
• Not to be used for patients who are critically ill.

Before You Start Testing
About the Meter and Test Strips
WARNING
• Carefully read and follow the instructions in the Owner’s Booklet and Package Inserts for the
test strips and control solutions. It is very important to follow the instructions in order to prevent
a wrong result or improper treatment.
• Inspect the test drum container before using the test drum. If you see any damage to the
container cap or if anything prevents the cap from closing properly, do not use the test drum.
Contact the ACCU‑CHEK Customer Care Service Center. Damaged test strips can cause
inaccurate results, which could lead to improper treatment.
• The meter, test strips, and control solutions are only for use outside the body (in vitro). Do not
eat the test strips. Do not swallow or inject control solutions or use control solutions for any
purpose other than testing the ACCU‑CHEK Compact Plus system.
NOTE
• Set the time and date on your meter before you begin testing.
• Although you always apply fresh capillary whole blood to the test strip, your system has been calibrated
to deliver plasma-like values for easier comparison to lab results.
NOTE
• Perform a control test when you open a new box of test drums or if you think that your test result is
incorrect. Performing a control test lets you know that the meter and test strips are working properly.
• Refer to your Test Strip and Clear Control Solution Package Inserts for additional health-related information.

Using the ACCU‑CHEK Compact Plus System
• Only use ACCU-CHEK Compact Plus test strips. Using other test strips with this meter will produce
inaccurate results.
• Perform a control test every time you open a new box of test strips.
• Refer to the test strip package insert for test strip storage and system operating conditions.
• Store the test drum in its original container with the cap closed. Moisture can damage the test strips and
produce incorrect results.
• Do not remove test drums from the drum container and put them into another container, such as a plastic
bag, pocket, purse, wallet, etc.
• Use only test drums on which the aluminum foil is intact on both sides.
• Discard the test drum if it is past the “Use by” date printed on the test drum container. If the “Use by” date
is missing or cannot be read, do not use the test drum. Visit our web site at www.accu-chek.com/support
or call the ACCU-CHEK Customer Care Service Center at 1-800-858-8072.
• Never push any test strip back into the meter or the test drum. These test strips can produce incorrect
results.
• If you do not turn off the meter after a test, the meter turns off automatically after about 60 seconds. The
result is saved in the memory. The test strip then remains in the meter. When you slide and release
to
turn on the meter, it simply releases the test strip and turns itself off again.

WARNING
• DO NOT expose test drums to heat, moisture or humidity. Temperatures outside the required
range, as well as moisture and humidity, can damage your test strips and lead to inaccurate
results.
• DO NOT bend, cut, or alter the test strips.
• DO NOT get dirt, food, or other material on the test strip.
Not following these precautions can lead to inaccurate results.

Setting the Beeper On/OFF
The meter beeper is preset to “On1.” This means the beeper is on. Setting the beeper to “OFF” does not
affect test results.
The beeper is helpful because it prompts you:
• To apply blood or control solution to the test strip
• When enough blood or control solution is drawn into the test strip
• When the test is complete
• When the hypo indicator is turned on and the result is below the level you have set
• If an error occurred
