ACCU-CHEK® meters passed every study, every time.
Don’t gamble with your patients’ health.
Poor accuracy could create significant medical risk and dangerous consequences
for insulin-using patients.
Only Roche manufactures both its meters and strips
for the ACCU-CHEK Nano SmartView and
ACCU-CHEK Aviva Plus systems right here
in the U.S.A. Each and every one of our
products that goes to market is not only
held accountable to global accuracy standards,
they have to pass our own more stringent ones.

Ensuring quality and accuracy has always been our top priority. In fact, the manufacturing
processes we employ for ACCU-CHEK test strips have consistently adhered to the new
ISO accuracy standards since 2011.
These extra steps include:
✔ For every lot of ACCU-CHEK test strips, containing millions of strips,
one out of every 100 vials is tested for consistency of performance
✔ Vials representative of the entire lot are tested a second time, some in a lab setting
and others with capillary blood from actual patients with diabetes to reflect
a real-world environment
✔ Only those test strip lots that achieve the acceptance criteria based on the new
global accuracy standard are released to the market
Roche goes above and beyond to deliver safe, accurate and dependable products

“Certain self-monitoring blood glucose systems, even though they meet
accuracy standards upon FDA clearance, fail to consistently meet those standards
once on the market, according to Diabetes Technology Society (DTS)”—PhysBiz Tech (May 28, 2013)
There’s a lot of talk about inconsistent accuracy and the significant impact it can
have on patients who use their meter to determine insulin dosing.
These accuracy concerns prompted the proposal of the new tighter global
accuracy standard (ISO 15197:2013), which the FDA recently voted to approve.
New studies reveal not all meters consistently meet global accuracy standards1
The recent news that 24 blood glucose meters failed to consistently meet global accuracy
standards in three peer-reviewed studies has heightened this growing concern.
