Accu-Chek Active Test Strips – Pack of 50

Accu-Chek Active Test Strips are designed for use with the Accu-Chek Active Glucometer for regular blood glucose testing. This pack contains 50 test strips and is suitable for people who use the Accu-Chek Active system for routine blood glucose monitoring. The strips require a small blood sample of approximately 1–2 µL and can provide a result in approximately 5 seconds when the strip is tested inside the meter.

Blood Glucose Testing with Accu-Chek Active Test Strips

These glucose test strips are specifically designed to work with the Accu-Chek Active blood glucose meter. The strip absorbs the applied blood sample and works with the meter to determine the glucose level. The official Accu-Chek product information states that the measuring interval is 10–600 mg/dL. The system is designed for convenient everyday blood glucose testing, whether monitoring is performed at home or in an appropriate healthcare setting.

Small Blood Sample Requirement

The test strip requires approximately 1–2 µL of blood. Blood is applied to the designated test area of the strip, where it spreads across the test pad.

Designed for Accu-Chek Active Meters

Compatibility is important when purchasing replacement glucose strips. These strips are intended for the Accu-Chek Active Glucometer. They should not be assumed to work with other Accu-Chek meter models such as Accu-Chek Instant or Accu-Chek Guide unless the manufacturer specifically states compatibility.
