Before You Start Testing
About the meter and test strips
• Carefully read and follow the instructions in the Getting Started Guide, the Standard Owner’s Booklet, the
Advanced Owner’s Booklet, and Package Inserts for the test strips and control solutions. Not following the
instructions may lead to a wrong result or improper treatment, causing you health problems.
• Set the time and date on your meter before you begin testing.
• Inspect the test strip container before using the test strips for the rst time. If you see any damage to the
container cap or if anything prevents the cap from closing properly, do not use the test strips. Contact
ACCU-CHEK Pump Support at 1-800-688-4578. Damaged test strips can cause inaccurate results, which
could lead to improper treatment.
• Carefully dispose of used test strips and lancets.
• Home use of the ACCU‑CHEK Aviva Combo system is limited to capillary whole blood testing.
ii
About Your New Meter
• The meter is designed and can be used for testing fresh capillary whole blood samples (for example, blood
from a ngertip or forearm).
• Only use ACCU‑CHEK Aviva test strips. Other test strips will give inaccurate results.
• Although you always apply whole blood to the test strip, the system has been calibrated to deliver
plasma-like values for easier comparison to lab results.
• The meter, test strips, and control solution are only for use outside the body (in vitro). Do not eat the test
strips. Do not swallow or inject the control solution, or use the control solution for any purpose other than
testing the ACCU-CHEK Aviva Combo system.
iii
About Testing Yourself or Others
w WARNING:
Certain substances can interfere with the ACCU-CHEK Aviva Combo blood glucose system and cause
falsely high results. For example, peritoneal dialysis solutions containing icodextrin (such as Extraneal) or
certain immunoglobulin therapies that contain maltose (such as Octagam 5 %) cause inaccurate results.
For more information, refer to the Test Strip Package Insert or ask your healthcare professional.
• If you are very dehydrated or urinating frequently, you may get an inaccurate test result. If you think you are
dehydrated, call your healthcare professional right away.
• Some people with diabetes do not experience symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Others, such as
children or people who are unconscious or have certain disabilities, may not be able to communicate their
symptoms to caregivers. For these reasons, do not change any treatment without rst talking to a
healthcare professional.
• Run a control test when you open a new box of test strips or if you think that your test result is incorrect.
Running a control test lets you know that the meter and test strips are working properly.
iv
• Refer to the Test Strip and Control Solution Package Inserts for additional health‑related information.
• It is always a good idea to have a back‑up testing method available. Failure to test could cause a delay in
treatment decisions and lead to a serious medical condition. Examples of back-up testing methods include
a back-up meter or testing by a lab. Ask your healthcare professional or pharmacist about other possible
back-up methods.
DO NOT CHANGE YOUR TREATMENT BASED ON A SINGLE RESULT THAT DOES NOT MATCH
HOW YOU FEEL OR IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR TEST RESULT COULD BE INCORRECT.
If your blood sugar result doesn’t match how you feel and you have followed the instructions in your owner’s
booklets, follow your healthcare professional’s instructions or call your healthcare professional.
Special Information to Consider When Using This Meter
• Do not use this device to measure blood sugar if you or a person to whom you are providing care is
experiencing cardiovascular collapse (severe shock) or decreased peripheral blood ow.
• Consult your healthcare professional to determine if it is appropriate for your child to be taught how to use
the meter system or any other medical products.

With bolus advice, you need to consider the following when setting up time blocks:
• Determine the appropriate time range by reviewing the end time for each time block.
• Review the acceptable blood sugar target range (low and high) for each time block.
• Determine your carb ratio (the amount of insulin needed to cover a given amount of carbohydrates) for each
time block.
• Determine your insulin sensitivity (the amount of insulin needed to lower your blood sugar by a given
amount) for each time block.
26
Health Events
Health events can be selected to indicate how you are feeling or what you are doing that might affect your
diabetes. The meter allows you the option of setting a percentage for each health event if you set up bolus
advice.
Health events available on the meter are:
• Fasting
• Exercise 1
• Stress
• Illness
• Exercise 2
• Premenstrual
Fasting does not scale bolus advice calculations and is not adjustable. Discuss the appropriate percentage
for each health event with your healthcare professional. For instructions on how to set up bolus advice, see
Chapter 5, “Changing Meter Settings.”
1
27
Blood Sugar Test Reminders (Optional)

c CAUTIONS:
• Using batteries other than those supplied or recommended for use with the meter may significantly
reduce the life of the batteries. Batteries other than those recommended may leak and corrode
the battery contacts within the meter. Using batteries not supplied or recommended may void the
warranty.
• Replace all batteries of a set at the same time. Newly purchased batteries should not be mixed with
partially exhausted ones. Batteries of different electrochemical systems, grades, or brands should
not be mixed. Failure to observe these precautions may result in some batteries in a set being driven
beyond their normal exhaustion point and thus increase the probability of leakage.
7
231
i NOTES:
• Alkaline batteries are recommended for use with the meter.
• After you change the batteries, the meter prompts you to confirm the time and date settings.
• It is a good idea to have spare, packaged batteries available.
• All test results, diary information, and settings are saved in the meter memory when the batteries are
replaced.
• The meter remains paired with the pump when you remove and replace the batteries.
• Rechargeable batteries may be used in the meter. However, rechargeable batteries may not maintain
the same battery life as non-rechargeable batteries.
• When the Low Battery warning appears:
• Bluetooth wireless technology communication is disabled.
• If vibrate is set to On, it is disabled until the batteries are replaced.
• I f the backlight level is set to high, the medium backlight level is used until the batteries are
replaced.
• If the beeper level is set to high, the medium beeper level is used until the batteries are replaced.
232
7.3 Power‑Saving Tips
To conserve battery life:
• Use the low beeper setting
• Only turn on the vibration feature when it is needed
• Turn off the meter when you are nished rather than utilizing the auto power off feature

233
7.4 Cleaning the Meter
Caring for the meter is easy: just keep it free of dust. If you need to clean it, follow these guidelines carefully
to help you get the best performance possible:
DO
• Ensure the meter is off
• Gently wipe the meter’s surface with a soft cloth slightly dampened with one of these cleaning solutions:
‑ 70 % isopropyl alcohol
‑ Mild dishwashing liquid mixed with water
‑ 10 % household bleach solution (1 part bleach plus 9 parts water) made the same day
• Squeeze out any excess liquid from the cloth before you wipe the meter surface
DO NOT
• Get any moisture in the code key slot or test strip slot
• Spray any cleaning solution directly onto the meter
• Put the meter under water or liquid
• Pour liquid into the meter
For instructions on how to clean the pump, see the ACCU‑CHEK Spirit Combo Insulin Pump User Guide.
234
7.5 Maintenance and Testing
• The meter needs little or no maintenance with normal use. It automatically tests its own systems every
time you turn it on and lets you know if something is wrong. For detailed information on troubleshooting the
meter, see Chapter 8, “Troubleshooting.”
• If you drop the meter or think it is not giving accurate results, ensure your test strips and control solution
have not expired, and then perform a control test.
• Perform a control test with each new vial of test strips.
• To test the meter display, turn off the meter, and then press and hold the + button. The display cycles
through colors (red, blue, green, and white). If any part of the display does not change colors, contact
ACCU-CHEK Pump Support at 1-800-688-4578.

9.4 Product Safety Information
Bluetooth Wireless Technology
The meter and the pump utilize Bluetooth wireless technology to communicate and transfer information.
Bluetooth wireless technology is a form of radio frequency (RF) technology that operates in the unlicensed
industrial, scientic, and medical band at 2.4 to 2.485 GHz. The RF channel utilized for communication
between the meter and the pump is not an open channel. The meter can only communicate with the pump it
is paired with; therefore, other Bluetooth wireless technology devices (e.g., cell phone, printer, etc.) cannot be
paired with, communicate with, or access your personal information on the meter or the pump.
Radio Frequency Communication
FCC ID: WX3-361
The device complies with the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) standards. The
device complies with FCC Part 15 Rules. Operation of the device is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Compliance with these guidelines means that under normal, daily circumstances the device should not
affect the operation of other devices. In addition, the device should operate normally in the presence of other
devices.
9
261
In the event there is interference from another device, it is recommended that you increase distance between
meter and that device. You may also turn off the interfering device. In addition, you may turn off Bluetooth
wireless technology on the meter and deliver insulin directly using the pump.
Changes or modications to the device not expressly approved by Roche could void the user’s authority to
operate the device.
The device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device. The device
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy.
This equipment complies with FCC and IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
This equipment is in direct contact with the body of the user under normal operating conditions. This
transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
This meter meets the electromagnetic immunity requirements as per ISO 15197 Annex A. The chosen
basis for electrostatic discharge immunity testing was basic standard IEC 61000-4-2. In addition, it meets
the electromagnetic emissions requirements as per EN 61326. Its electromagnetic emission is thus low.
Interference from other electrically driven equipment is not to be anticipated.
262
Performance Analysis
The performance data for the ACCU-CHEK Aviva Combo system (ACCU‑CHEK Aviva Combo meter with
ACCU‑CHEK Aviva test strips) were obtained using capillary blood from diabetic patients (method comparison,
accuracy), venous blood (repeatability), and control solution (reproducibility). The system is calibrated with
venous blood containing various levels of sugar. The reference values are obtained using the hexokinase
method. For method comparison, the results were compared with results obtained using the hexokinase
method with deproteinization (automatic analyzer). The hexokinase method is traceable to an NIST standard.
Measuring Principle
Refer to your test strip package insert for more information.
w WARNINGS:
• Strong electromagnetic fields may interfere with the proper operation of the meter. Do not use this
meter close to sources of strong electromagnetic radiation.
• To avoid electrostatic discharge, do not use the meter in a very dry environment, especially one in
which synthetic materials are present.
9
263
9.5 Disposing of the Meter, Strips, Lancets, and Batteries
w WARNINGS:
• Any product coming in contact with blood is considered contaminated (potentially infectious).*
• During normal testing any blood sugar meter may come in contact with blood. Lancing devices may
also be considered sharps. Disposal of sharps is regulated by law in many jurisdictions.
The European Union has a requirement for improving waste management practices for certain electronic
equipment, but meters fall outside the scope of the European Directive 2002/96/EC.** This is not a
requirement for the U.S.A.; however, Roche is committed to recycling and sustainability. Please consider the
following points when disposing of your used testing materials:
• Comply with any laws or ordinances relating to the disposal of sharps and/or contaminated products.
Contact your local health department or other appropriate authorities for proper handling and disposal of
used meters, used test strips, used lancets, and used batteries.
• Consider recycling of the meters and batteries at an appropriate facility. Be aware the meter is potentially
hazardous electronics scrap (e‑scrap) and should be disposed of accordingly. The batteries are potentially
hazardous also and should be disposed of accordingly.
264
• Decontaminate the meter before recycling or disposing. Wipe the outside of the meter with a dilution of
bleach solution, one part bleach to nine parts water.
• Users in professional environments (i.e., healthcare professionals) should follow their existing policies
and procedures that govern the proper handling and disposal of potentially infectious waste, e-scrap, and
batteries.

9.8 Information for Healthcare Professionals
w WARNING:
Healthcare Professionals: Follow the infection control procedures appropriate for your facility.
A drop of fresh, whole blood is required to perform a blood sugar test. Refer to the test strip package insert
for additional healthcare professional information.
274
Recommending Alternative Site Testing to Patients
Decisions about whether to recommend alternative site testing (AST) should take into account the motivation
and knowledge level of the patient and his or her ability to understand the considerations relative to diabetes
and AST. If you are considering recommending AST for your patients, you need to understand that there is
a potential for a signicant difference between ngertip and alternative site blood sugar test results. The
difference in capillary bed concentration and blood perfusion throughout the body can lead to sample site-
to-site differences in blood sugar results. These physiological effects vary between individuals and can vary
within a single individual based upon his or her behavior and relative physical condition. Our studies involving
AST of adults with diabetes show that most persons will nd their sugar level changes more quickly in the
ngers’ blood than the alternative sites’ blood.¹ This is especially important when sugar levels are falling or
rising rapidly. If your patient is used to making treatment decisions based upon ngertip readings, he or she
should consider the delay, or lag-time, affecting the results obtained from an alternative site.
