Accu-Chek Instant Meter

Frequently Asked Questions

Connect meter to mySugr® app

How does data transfer work with the new meter?

The meters can transfer results using Bluetooth Low Energy to compatible smartphone apps like mySugr. Additionally, the micro-USB can be used with compatible diabetes management solutions such as the Accu-Chek Smart Pix device and the Accu-Chek Smart Pix software.

How close do the Accu-Chek Instant meter and mobile device have to be for data to transfer wirelessly from the blood glucose meter to the mySugr app?

The Accu-Chek Instant meter and mobile device must be within 3 meters for the automatic data transfer to occur. If the distance between the devices exceeds 3 meters during blood glucose test(s), any new meter data will synchronise with the app when the devices are within range and Bluetooth is turned on.

Once the meter is paired, will data transfer automatically to the mySugr app or does the app have to be opened on the smartphone every time synchronisation is needed?

When the meter is paired with the mySugr app, each blood glucose result will be transferred automatically, once the app is opened. However, the meter and smartphone must be within 3 meters to transfer successfully. If the app is not open, the value will not be transferred automatically. However, with the next successful import, all blood glucose values will be imported. There is not any loss of data.

After the data is transferred to the mySugr app, is this data still stored in the meter?

Yes, at least 720 results will remain in the meter’s memory at all times, despite the transfer of data to an app or online portal.

Accu-Chek Instant Test Strips

What happens if the user does not apply enough blood on the test strip?
The user will receive an E-4 error code.
Does the meter lock the user out if the test strips have expired

No, the meter will not lock a user out if they have used expired test strips.

If the test strips vial remains open, will this affect the stability?
Yes, as with any test strip, heat, humidity and other environmental conditions can affect strips.
The Accu-Chek Instant test strip is smaller than my current test strip, will I be able to use it?

The Accu-Chek Instant system was designed to assist users to easily conduct a test. Several features were designed for this purpose:

  • Easy-edge test strip has a wide application area compared to leading brands
  • Strips are placed electrode end down in the vial, so that they can be inserted easily into the meter with minimal handling
  • The used strip can easily and hygienically be removed from the meter with the strip ejector

Power

Does a battery change cause the meter to lose memory or the date and time?

No. Memory is retained. Time and date will need to be reset if batteries are out for longer than 40 seconds.

Why does the Accu-Chek Instant meter need two batteries?

The Accu-Chek Instant meter requires two batteries to power the features of the meter, such as the backlit display and Bluetooth connectivity.

Does the meter consume the battery when it searches for a paired device?

Yes, any time the meter is on, the battery is being consumed whether searching for a paired device or uploading results.

Device settings

How long do the meters save the date and time after the batteries have died?

The meters will retain the date and time settings for up 40 seconds when the batteries are removed.
