• The meter and lancing device should never be used by more than one person. Do not share the
meter and lancing device with anyone, including family members, due to the risk of infection from

• Blood glucose results can be displayed in either mg/dL or mmol/L. The back label of the meter shows
the unit of measurement. If the meter shows the wrong unit, contact the ACCU-CHEK Customer
Care Service Center at 1-800-858-8072. If you do not know which unit of measurement is correct
for you, contact your healthcare professional. Using the wrong unit of measurement may cause
misinterpretation of your actual blood glucose level and may lead to improper therapy.
