Meter care and battery

The meter's full-color display provides instructions for dealing with most challenges you might come across. You can also visit your meter's Screen Messages page for a list of messages and definitions or refer to Accu-Chek Aviva Expert user manual.

No. All blood glucose results, diary information and settings are saved in the meter memory when the batteries are replaced.

The meter uses 3 standard AAA batteries, preferably alkaline. Rechargeable batteries can also be used.

Your batteries should last for approximately 2,000 checks. Rechargeable batteries can be used, but they may not last as long.

Your meter comes with the batteries already installed and a preset time and date. You may need to change the time to match your time zone to reflect the time change. You can also choose to have the time set in 12hr or 24hr format.

To change the time:

  1. From the main menu, select Settings and press the enter key.
  2. Select Time/Date and press the enter key.
  3. Select the Time entry field and press the enter key.
  4. Set the Hour and press the enter key.
  5. Set the Minutes and press the enter key.
  6. If Time Format is 12 hr, select am or pm and press the enter key.
  7. To save the changes and return to the Settings Menu screen, select Save.

Changing the date is a similar process. Simply select the Date entry field in step 3 and set the day, month and year.

Checking blood glucose

The Accu-Chek Aviva Expert blood glucose meter is designed to give you confidence in the accuracy of your blood glucose results.

  1. Insert an Accu-Chek Aviva test strip into the meter, the meter will turn on automatically
  2. Use the lancing device (for single patient use only) to prick the side of a fingertip. Gently squeeze the fingertip to produce a small drop of blood
  3. Touch the drop of blood to the tip of the test strip - do not apply to top of the strip. The Accu-Chek Aviva test strip fills quickly and easily with only a tiny (0.6 μl)drop of blood
  4. A flashing hourglass appears when enough blood has been applied. Your result will appear in the display
