How Accu-Chek Instant Works

The Accu-Chek Instant system uses a compatible test strip to analyze a small blood sample. The enzyme on the test strip reacts with glucose in the blood and produces an electrical signal, which the meter interprets to calculate the blood glucose result.

Only Accu-Chek Instant test strips should be used with this meter. Always check the test-strip packaging and instructions for current storage and usage requirements.

How to Use

1. Wash and dry your hands before testing.
2. Insert an Accu-Chek Instant test strip into the meter.
3. The meter will turn on automatically.
4. Use the appropriate lancing device to obtain a small blood drop.
5. Apply the blood drop to the designated dosing area of the test strip.
6. Wait for the meter to process the sample.
7. The blood glucose result will appear on the display in less than 4 seconds.
8. Remove the used test strip using the strip ejector button.
9. Dispose of the used lancet and test strip safely.
10. Record or transfer the result if you are monitoring your glucose levels over time.

Always follow the instructions supplied with the meter, test strips and lancing device.

Small Blood Sample

The Accu-Chek Instant requires a minimum blood sample of approximately 0.6 µL, which is a very small amount of blood. The wide dosing area of the compatible test strip also makes blood application easier.

Target Range Indicator

One of the main features of the Accu-Chek Instant is its colour-coded Target Range Indicator. The indicator is designed to help users understand their result at a glance by showing whether the reading is below, within, or above the configured target range.

The target range should be set according to the individual’s healthcare needs. Do not change your target range or treatment based solely on the meter display without discussing it with your healthcare professional.

Memory & Average Results

The meter can store at least 720 blood glucose results. It can also provide average results over different time periods, including 7, 14, 30 and 90 days depending on the meter version and software configuration.

When the memory reaches capacity, adding a new reading causes the oldest stored result to be removed.

Bluetooth & mySugr App

The Accu-Chek Instant supports Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity with compatible diabetes management applications such as mySugr. This allows blood glucose readings to be transferred to a compatible smartphone for easier tracking and record keeping.

The meter and smartphone need to be within the required Bluetooth range for synchronization. Accu-Chek Pakistan states that automatic transfer occurs when the paired devices are within approximately 3 metres and the app is opened.

Accuracy & Standards

Accu-Chek states that the Instant system complies with ISO 15197:2013 / EN ISO 15197:2015 requirements for blood glucose monitoring systems used for self-testing in diabetes management.

Even with a compliant glucose meter, correct hand washing, adequate blood sample, properly stored test strips, and correct testing technique are important for reliable readings.

Who Can Use It?

The Accu-Chek Instant is intended for people who need to monitor blood glucose using a blood sample. It may be suitable for individuals with diabetes who have been advised to perform regular blood glucose monitoring.

Healthcare professionals can also use glucose readings as part of a broader assessment, but a home glucose meter does not replace professional diagnosis or medical evaluation.

Important Precautions

• Use only compatible Accu-Chek Instant test strips.
• Check the expiry date of the test strips before use.
• Keep the test-strip container properly closed when not in use.
• Follow the storage conditions printed on the test-strip packaging.
• Wash and dry your hands before testing.
• Do not use wet or contaminated fingers to handle test strips.
• Do not share lancets or lancing devices with another person.
• Dispose of used lancets and test strips safely.
• Do not change diabetes medication based on a single glucose reading without medical advice.
• If a reading does not match how you feel, repeat the test according to the instructions and contact your healthcare professional when appropriate.
• Follow the meter’s instructions for control testing when required.

Accu-Chek recommends performing a control test in situations such as opening a new test-strip box, when strips may have been exposed to unsuitable conditions, after dropping the meter, or when a result does not match how the user feels.

Storage & Care

Store the meter and test strips according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Keep the meter away from excessive moisture, extreme temperatures, dust and direct sunlight. The Accu-Chek Pakistan specifications list an operating temperature of 4°C to 45°C and operating humidity of 10% to 90% relative humidity.

The meter should not be exposed to water. In particular, the USB port is not water- or dust-resistant.
