Welcome

Thank you for selecting the Accu-Chek®Sensor System. Designed for ease of use, this system was produced in close association with diabetes health- care professionals, hospitals and, most importantly, people with diabetes.

The Accu-Chek Sensor System is intended for self-testing of glucose in capillary whole blood by persons with diabetes.

The lightweight, portable meter provides accurate results in seconds. When you dose the test strip, the meter measures your blood glucose level and displays your result. It’s that simple.

Before using your Accu-Chek Sensor Meter or Accu-Chek®Softclix Lancet Device for the first time, please refer to the Quick Reference Guide included in this pack. Should you require further information, please study this user’s manual. Please forward your completed warranty card immediately to Roche Diagnostics.

If you have any questions or inquiries, please call Roche Diagnostics.
