How does Accu-Chek Performa system technology differ from other Accu-Chek meters?
The Accu-Chek Performa system checks for more potential issues than any previous Accu-Chek system. It achieves this by combining the power of technologies in the testing system (the meter), the code key, and test strips with 6 gold electrodes to perform extensive quality checks during each test. These include: Sample checks Verify the correct amount of blood is applied Show user if more sample is needed Permit re-dosing within 5 seconds Detect whether sample is blood or control solution Strip checks Check test strips and reagent for potential damage/abuse Exposure to high humidity Scratches on strip electrodes System is designed to compensate for humidity or temperature or to produce an error message if unable to compensate System checks Check for variations in: Hematocrit Humidity Temperature These checks start when the meter is turned on and are complete when a blood glucose result is shown.
