How Accu Chek Instant Glucometer Kit Works

Accu-Chek Instant uses electrochemical biosensor technology: glucose in a blood drop reacts on the test strip, generating an electrical signal proportional to glucose concentration. The meter converts this signal into a blood glucose reading displayed on the screen.

Dosage & Directions

Insert a compatible Accu-Chek Instant test strip into the meter, use the lancing device to obtain a small fingertip blood drop, touch the strip edge to the blood sample and wait for the result. Use as advised by your doctor; wash and dry hands before testing; do not reuse lancets; use only compatible strips and follow the user manual.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
