IMPORTANT – READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE
A RESTRICTED LICENSE LIMITS USE OF THE ACCU-CHEK
COMPACT
™
SYSTEM.
The Accu-Chek Compact
™
System (meter, including test drum
and test strips) and its use are protected by US patent numbers
5,720,924; 5,863,800; 5,206,147; 5,334,508; 5,240,860;
5,382,523; 5,521,060; 6,036,919; 4,924,879; and Re. 35,803;
and may be covered by one or more of the following Patents:
5,575,403; 5,738,244; 5,630,986; 5,632,410; 5,660,791;
5,810,199; and 5,510,266. A license to use the Accu-Chek
Compact
™
system is only granted when the Accu-Chek Compact
™
meter is used with the Accu-Chek Compact
™
test drums and test
strips. Accu-Chek Compact
™
test strips are provided with a specifi-
cally matched bar code on the associated test drum. These test
drums and associated bar code are specifically manufactured for
operation with the Accu-Chek Compact
™
meter. Use of other test
strips or test drums with unmatched bar codes or even with a
matched bar code supplied by another manufacturer may prevent
or impair the proper function of the Accu-Chek Compact
™
system.
Using the Accu-Chek Compact
™
system indicates your acceptance
of the restricted license to use the Accu-Chek Compact
™
system
only with Accu-Chek Compact
™
test drums and test strips. If you
do not agree to the terms and conditions of the restricted license,
you may return, to the place of purchase, the unused Accu-Chek
Compact
™
system (or Accu-Chek Compact
™
meter, if you only
purchased a meter) for a full refund. If you have any questions,
please call Accu-Chek Customer Care
SM
at 1-800-858-8072.
Except where prohibited by statute, all warranties covering the
Accu-Chek Compact
™
system are voided by the use of the Accu-
Chek Compact
™
system with any test strips other than the Accu-
Chek Compact
™
test drums.
