Accu chek blood glucose meter test strip expired how to adjust the instrument date

The Roche Excellence Blood Glucose Meter shows E-5 after inserting the test strip

If the Roche Excel Blood Glucose Meter inserts a code plate that does not match the blood glucose test strip, the blood glucose meter cannot match the information of the code card inserted into the blood glucose meter with the Roche Excel Blood Glucose Test Strip, and an E-5 error will be displayed. Please make sure that the number on the inserted code plate matches the code number on the blood glucose test tube. If the password number is inconsistent, please take out the password card that has been inserted and insert the matching code card.

Please make sure that the system date and time of the Roche Excellence Blood Glucose Meter are set correctly.

There are a few main reasons why the Roche Excellence meter shows an E-5 error:

The code plate is not inserted properly in place.

The Roche Excellence Blood Glucose Meter System has the wrong date set!

The code plate does not match the Roche Excellence blood glucose test strip, and the code number is inconsistent.

The Superior Blood Glucose Meter inserts the code plate of other models of blood glucose meters.

Roche Excellence Blood Glucose Test Strips have expired and cannot be used! Please adjust the system date and reboot detection.

How to insert the code card correctly into the Roche Excellence Blood Glucose Meter: First confirm that the blood glucose meter is turned off. Gently insert the code card into the slot on the side of the meter. You must feel the code plate locked in place.

The Roche Excellence Blood Glucose Meter code card is a small white card with a three-digit number on the code card (e.g., 033). The three-digit number on the code card must match the three-digit code number on the blood glucose test strip bucket.

Each time you use a new bucket of test strips, you must replace the old code card in the meter with the matching code card. The code card can provide information about the characteristics of the test strip to the blood glucose meter. That's why each box of test strips contains a code tag.

The use of the old code card may not match the new test strip and will cause errors in the blood glucose meter.

The Roche Vitality meter shows the E-5 You insert a used blood glucose test strip into the meter.

Restart the test with a new test strip.

Measure window dirt.

Clean the assay window.

You have not inserted the test strip correctly and completely.

Eliminate these possibilities and try again.

Accuchek blood glucose meter.

The Chinese name is Roche blood glucose meter, and its test strip uses dehydrogenase, and the validity period is 18 months.

Generally speaking, the current blood glucose meter test strips are mainly divided into two categories, one is the oxidase test strip, this type of test strip is easily affected by moisture and oxygen in the air, so the bottled test strip is best used up within three months after opening the bottle, if it is independently packaged or for opening the bottle, the general shelf life is about 18 months.

The other type is dehydrogenase test strips, which are not easily affected by the moisture and oxygen content in the air, so the validity period is generally more than one year, but because its specificity is worse than that of oxidase, it is easy to be affected by xylose and several sugars, which makes the test results false and high.

The above is the approximate shelf life of these two types of test strips, the specific shelf life difference mainly depends on the situation of different brands, there may be 18 months, 12 months, 8 months, etc., used up within three months after opening the lid, and the test strip must be kept in a dry, dark and sealed environment, avoid direct sunlight, but also to ensure the dryness of the test strip bucket and test strip, and the lid should be closed immediately every time it is taken out, so as to avoid the test strip being damp.

When using the test strip, do not touch the test area and the blood dripping area of the test strip with your hands, so as to avoid oxidation of the test strip and affect the test results.

So can I continue to use the blood glucose meter test strip after it expires? The answer is of course no, if you continue to use expired blood glucose meter test strips, it will affect the test results, resulting in untimely medication, and it will have a great impact on your health, and the consequences are unimaginable.

If the blood glucose test strip is found to be damaged, it should be discarded in time to avoid inaccurate blood glucose test results and worsening of the patient's condition.

Hello, blood glucose meter test strips are currently broadly divided into two categories:

One is oxidase test strips, which are easily affected by moisture and oxygen in the air, and are used up within three months after the bottled test strips are opened. If it is individually packaged or unopened, the shelf life is generally about 18 months.

The other type is dehydrogenase test strips, which are not affected by the moisture and oxygen content in the air, and are basically valid for more than one year. However, its specificity is slightly worse than that of oxidase, and it is easily affected by xylose and several sugars, which makes the test results false.

The eMotion test strip expiration prompt is designed to remind the patient that the test strip they are using may cause inaccurate test results due to expiration.

You can try to adjust the blood sugar time, for example, it is March 24, 2015, assuming that the test strip expires today, then you can set the blood glucose meter time six months earlier, that is, September 2015, but if you are using a new test strip, you need to adjust the time to the normal date.

Hope it helps.

Although the shelf life of the test strip has passed, the quality of the test strip is still good, so it can still be used.

The value of the expired test strip will be too high, which will cause inaccurate measurement; Generally, it is not immediately obvious that it is inaccurate at that point in time. For example, the test strip of Schnale has a three-month shelf life after opening the can, and people who use this may find that the value is high after 5 or 6 months after opening the can. Expired test strips are just questionable for accuracy, but they can still measure blood glucose values.

Maybe there is no password card, this machine is not on the market in China, test strips cannot be bought, and blood glucose meter test strips are dedicated to special machines.

Where to buy the machine, where to consult, this kind of test strip can not be bought in China.

Is it that the password card is not inserted well, each box has a password card, your model has not been listed in China, and the test strip cannot be bought.

Now this kind of Roche blood glucose meter has been widely used in hospitals, E5 means that the blood glucose test strip has expired!

I'm using accu-check, mine is two boxes of test strips with a combination lock, I guess, you have to plug in the corresponding combination lock.

1. Take out the blood glucose meter, blood collection pen, blood collection needle, and test strip bucket, and put them on a clean desktop, and there should be no electronic devices such as TVs, mobile phones, and microwave ovens near to prevent interference.

2. After washing hands with warm water or disinfecting, you must wait for the test to be completely clean.

3. Take out the blood collection pen and install the blood collection needle, and pay attention to the smaller the number, the shallower the piercing. Pull the lance spring on gear. The first time you use it, you can adjust it to the middle gear first, and the next time you adjust the depth appropriately according to the actual situation.

4. Open the test strip bucket and take out the test strip, pay attention to cover the bucket lid immediately after taking it out, and do not expose the air for a long time.

5. Insert the test strip into the blood glucose meter, and the fingers should not pinch the blood suction port and plug during the process of taking and inserting the test strip, as the finger temperature will affect the result.

6. If the blood glucose test strip needs to be corrected, the ** displayed by the blood glucose meter must be consistent with the test strip**, and the results are inaccurate when inconsistent.
