Accu-Chek Compact diabetes test strips eliminate the aggravation of handling each individual strip before testing. The meter accepts a drum cartridge containing 17 blood glucose level test strips, creating a more convenient testing situation.

Features:

Each diabetes test strip is automatically released from the meter at the touch of a button. The test strip is discarded from the meter when testing is complete and the next test strip is automatically advanced. This automated system eliminates the need for handling small test strips. Coding is automatic when the test strip drum is inserted, for added convenience. A window on the back of the meter indicates how many test strips remain; when the last test strip is used a dot will show through the window.

The results of your blood sugar level are accurate and quick--available in merely 8 seconds.

Only a 1.5 microliter sample of blood is needed for accurate testing, making a virtually pain free blood glucose level test.

Can be conveniently used on alternative testing sites like the palm, forearm, upper arm, thigh, or calf, as well as the fingertip.

For the most accurate testing, use the Compact Diabetes Test Strips with Accu-Chek Compact and Accu-Chek Compact Plus Meters. These blood glucose meters allow for alternate testing sites, which can make testing less painful. These sites include fingertips, palm, forearm, upper arm, thigh or calf. It is always advisable to talk with your doctor before deciding if alternate site testing is right for you.
