Accu Check Active 50 test strips

Quick visual check for additional safety: (= stability check)The round control window on the back of the test strip must not differ from the reference colour "0" on the colour scale on the test strip container.

If the round control window has turned a different colour, the test strip is unusable and should be discarded.

Quick visual reading back-up for additional safety: It is possible to verify the result by comparing the colour of the round control window on the back of the test strip with the colour scale on the label of the test strip container-especially in case of implausible meter readings.

Visual under dosing: Detection for safe test results.

Since the test pad changes colour once the blood has been applied, the user can recognize if too little sample has been applied.

The centre of the test pad must be uniformly covered.

The control window on the back of the test strip must be completely discoloured.

Optimal test strip architecture for hygienic handling:

The size and the architecture of the test strip allow test strip handling without coming into contact with the blood specimen-especially when taking the used test strip off the monitor.
