FAQs

<p>The Accu-Chek Mobile test cassettes can be used with the Accu-Chek Mobile meter.</p>

<p>Using test cassettes that have expired can cause your results to be inaccurate. If your test cassettes have expired, throw them away and begin using a new test cassette. The expiration date is printed on every test cassette.</p>

<p>If the test cassette you removed still has unused tests and is still within the "use by" date, you can reinsert the cassette into the meter. The meter recognises the cassette, the number of available tests and the expiry date.</p>

<p>If a standard test cassette is inserted in to the meter, the meter checks regularly when the cassette was inserted and calculates the use-by period from this. Each test cassette must be used up within 90 days (use-by period). If a standard test cassette is inserted into the meter, the use-by period is calculated from the date when the cassette was first placed in the meter. This date is stored in the cassette.&nbsp;<br><br>The meter also checks whether the expiry date of the cassette has been reached. The expiry date is shown on the test cassette box.&nbsp;<br><br>If either of the two dates – use-by period or expiry date – is exceeded, the cassette has expired and further tests cannot be performed with this test cassette.&nbsp;<br><br>If a test is started and the cassette is going to expire shortly or has already expired, the meter will inform you of this.&nbsp;<br><br>A notification relating to the expiry of the test cassette appears 10 days before it expires, subsequent notifications appear 5, 2 and 1 day(s) before expiry.&nbsp;<br><br>If the test cassette has expired, a message will ask the user to replace it.</p>

<p>No, it is not possible to insert the cassette the wrong way.</p>

<p>When a new test cassette is inserted, the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag informs the meter about the specific properties of the chemistry in this test cassette and all coding information is given. The meter turns on, the display check appears and the user is shown the information about the cassette's expiry date. The number of available tests is indicated then the main menu is displayed. The meter is now ready for testing.</p>
