Calibration of the Accu-Chek Performa strip

Recent recommendations by the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry have been adapted in relation to the Accu-Chek Performa strips. These recommendations require blood glucose meters to report results that are equal to the results produced by the laboratory. As you are aware, laboratory results are always higher than the finger-prick glucose results by around 10-15%. Therefore, although patients are testing capillary whole blood (finger-prick) the Accu-Chek Performa is intelligent enough to convert this to results that are equivalent to the laboratory values. Therefore, you should expect higher results with the Accu-Chek Performa if you switch from another whole-blood calibrated glucose meter.

Test Strip Features

• Fast test time - The test time of 5 seconds makes the Accu-Chek Performa system one of the fastest on the market
• Small blood sample - Accu-Chek Performa test strips only require a tiny 0.6_µL sample
• Re-dosing capability - The system indicates if more sample is needed and permits re-dosing within 5 seconds
• AST capability - In addition to fingertip and palm testing, the user can test from the forearm, upper arm, thigh or calf
• Large easy-to-handle, 'touchable' design - Test strips are sturdy and well constructed to help reduce strip waste and minimise the need to retest
• Fast capillary fill - The strip uses a super-fast-fill capillary window, making dosing more convenient for the user
• Large dosing area - The strip's wide mouth allows easier application of the sample
• Contrast dosing - The yellow window is in contrast to the grey tip of the test strip, making it easy to see the dosing area
• Strip Graphics - The strip features directional arrows to help the user understand the proper way to insert the strip
• 6 gold electrodes - Test strip electrodes work with the system technology and code key to perform extensive quality checks prior to each test
