The Accutrend Plus instrument
Thank you for your purchase of the Accutrend Plus instrument!
The Accutrend Plus instrument is used for quantitative measurement of two blood parameters:
glucose and cholesterol. The reflectance photometric measurement is performed using test strips specific
for each of these blood parameters. For detailed information about the two tests, see the package inserts of the
respective test strips.
Note: This manual contains all the information needed to use the instrument and keep it ready to operate. Please
read this manual carefully before using the instrument. Familiarize yourself with the required preparations and
the measurement procedure before performing the first measurement.
Also, read the package inserts of the test strips to be used.

Introduction
The Accutrend Plus instrument
The Accutrend Plus instrument is used for quantitative measurement of 2 blood parameters: glucose and
cholesterol. The instrument is suitable for professional use as well as for self-testing.
If you have any questions which are not answered by this manual, call the ACCU-CHEK Customer Care Service
Center 24 hours a day, 365 days a year at 1-800-440-3638
CLIA Waived
This is a CLIA Waived test system. A Certificate of CLIA Waiver (or higher) is required to perform the test. Information on obtaining CLIA certificates
can be found at www.cms.hhs.gov/clia.
Before testing, refer to the appropriate package insert for more complete information. Laboratories with a certificate of waiver must follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for performing the test. 42 CFR 493.15(e)(1).
Any modifications and/or failure to follow test system instructions, including those for limitations/intended use and performance of QC testing as a
failure alert mechanism, results in use that is considered high complexity and subject to all applicable CLIA requirements.
All applicable state and local laws must be met.
Any adverse reactions experienced with the use of this product, and/or quality problems should also be reported to the FDA’s MedWatch Adverse
Event Reporting program online (at www.fda.gov/MedWatch/report.htm), by phone (1-800-FDA-1088), or by returning the postage-paid FDA
form 3500 (which may be downloaded from www.fda.gov/MedWatch/getforms.htm) by mail to (MedWatch, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville,

Introduction
12
Test principle
By means of a code strip, the instrument reads the lot-specific characteristics of the test strips currently in use. This
information is stored and must therefore only be read once per test strip container. To run a test, an unused test
strip is taken from the container and inserted into the instrument. When inserted, the application area of the test
strip is illuminated by an LED (light-emitting diode) from below. Before sample application, the reflection behavior
of the test strip is determined by means of the light which is reflected from the application area (blank value).
The blood sample is then applied to the application area and the measurement chamber flap is closed. The
constituent to be determined in the applied sample undergoes an enzymatic reaction with formation of a dye. The
amount of dye formed increases with the concentration of the substance to be determined.
After a certain period of time (dependent on the test parameter), the color intensity is measured by illuminating the
application area again from below using the LED. The intensity of the reflected light is measured with a
detector (reflectance photometry). The measured value is determined from the signal strength of the reflected
light, using the previously measured blank value and the lot-specific information from the code strip. Finally, the
result is displayed and simultaneously stored in the memory.

Safety information
Protection against infection
There is a potential risk of infection. Medical staff and other persons using the Accutrend Plus
instrument to perform measurements for more than one patient must be aware that any object
coming into contact with human blood is a potential source of infection.
• Use gloves
• When performing several measurements, apply blood outside the instrument
• Discard used test strips in a sharps container or sturdy container with lid
• Follow all other locally applicable health and safety regulations
• Use a professional lancing device such as the Accu-Chek Safe-T-Pro to prevent cross contamination.
