Please refer to safety-related notes in the User's Manual accompanying this instrument. For single use only Sterilized using irradiation Last update: March 2005 This user's manual for the acoustic mode features three symbols that draw your attention to important information. i This symbol indicates a possible risk of injury or of damage to your health. This symbol draws attention to actions that could result in damage to meter or lancing device. This symbol draws your attention to other important information. 1 The acoustic mode is intended for people who are visually impaired. When the acoustic mode is turned on, the meter will guide the user through the testing process using beep tones; it will also announce the results as a series of beeps. Visually impaired people need a sighted person to instruct them in the use of the meter and to assist them with all aspects of its operation. Visually impaired persons must not test their blood glucose without the assistance of a sighted person. A person without visual impairment must set up the meter. All the necessary information for this is contained in the User's Manual for the meter. This user's manual for the acoustic mode is intended for sighted persons instructing visually impaired people on how to use the Accu-Chek Compact Plus meter and supporting them in its use. The user's manual for the acoustic mode contains separate descriptions of how to use the meter and the lancing device. These are provided to support a sighted person, who is instructing a visually impaired person on how to use the meter and supporting them in its use. Only those activities, which are to be performed by a visually impaired person with simultaneous support from a sighted person, are described in this manual. These activities are: Inserting and replacing the batteries Inserting and replacing the test strip drum Obtaining a blood Testing blood glucose Retrieving the results of the best Descriptions are also given of different acoustic signals which indicate warnings and error messages. The user's manual for the meter covers all the steps involved in operating the meter as well as warnings and other information. The user's manual for the acoustic mode in spoken form is also available in a CD format. You can receive this CD by calling the Accu-Chek customer care line.

The two short ends of the meter have different contours. The smooth end (without projections or depressions) should be pointing away from you. The other end has a depression and a corner which is rounded off. This end should be pointing towards you, so the rounded end and lancing device are on the right. The display and buttons are on the top half of the meter. In the centre of the meter is the Test button. This can be identified through its curved ridge. To the left of the Test button is the M button and to the right of the Test button is the S button. Above the buttons is the display. Drum compartment cover Below the buttons is the drum compartment cover and, underneath it, the drum compartment. The hinge attaching the drum compartment cover to the meter is located below the buttons. At the lower end of the drum compartment cover is a flat depression which continues around onto the end of the meter nearest to you. Test strip guide Below the depression in the drum compartment cover, i.e. at the short end of the meter nearest to you, is the test strip guide. This is where the test strip will emerge. Drum compartment To the right of the test strip guide is a small projection that is part of the drum compartment cover. By pulling this projection upwards, you can open the drum compartment. When the drum compartment is open, a button (the red drum release button) is situated at its lower right-hand corner. 1.2 The back Turn the meter over and lay it down face downwards so the lancing device is now situated on the left. Sliding button for undocking the lancing device At the top left is an oval, ribbed button that slides towards you. This is the sliding button that releases the lancing device. Battery compartment To the right of the sliding button is the battery compartment that occupies approximately the upper half of the meter. Roughly at the centre of the meter (i.e. at the lower end of the battery compartment cover) is a ribbed surface. You push this forward to open the battery compartment. 6 Description of the meter Description of the meter 7 1.3 The lancing device When the buttons are facing upwards, the lancing device is located on the right side of the meter. It is docked in a recess in the meter. The shape of the lancing device is that of a fat ballpoint pen. At its lower end, adjacent to the end of the meter with the test strip guide, is the cap. Underneathe the cap is the lancet holder. The cap rotates and is used to set the penetration depth. Just above the cap, inset into the lancing device, is a semi-circular arch that has a light-coloured border. This indicates the chosen penetration depth. The cap is removed to allow a new lancet to be inserted or to eject a used one. At the upper end of the lancing device is the plunger, which is used to prime, trigger and eject the lancet. Undocking and docking the lancing device ? Hold the meter so the back is facing upwards, with the lancing device on the left. ? Search for the ribbed sliding button at the top left corner of the meter. ? Slide this button downwards and hold it there. This releases the lancing device. ? Withdraw the lancing device by pulling it forward towards you. The lancing device is not round like a ballpoint pen, but has four sides that are different, and have rounded edges. On the two narrow sides of the lancing device are two narrow grooves that start below the plunger and run along the lancing device. Along the edges of the recess in the meter into which the lancing device is docked are the corresponding guides. These guides must engage with the grooves when the lancing device is docked onto the meter. Of the two broad sides one is flat and the other curved. When the lancing device is docked onto the meter, the curved side faces outwards. ? Slide the lancing device from below, plunger first, into the recess. The flat, broad side of the lancing device must be facing the meter and be in contact with the walls of the recess. The guides then glide into the grooves. The lancing device docks into place with an audible CLICK. 8 Description of the meter Description of the meter 9 2 Turning on Acoustic Mode 2 ? With the meter turned off, press the right-hand S button (S button). The meter turns on without advancing a test strip. ? Press the left-hand M button (M button) repeatedly until it beeps and On2 flashes in the display. The acoustic mode is now turned on. ? Press the middle button (Test button) to turn the meter off. You cannot set a hypo warning if you have the acoustic mode turned on (On2). This is to prevent it from being confused with other beep tones. If you have already set a threshold, the hypo warning is automatically turned off when you subsequently turn acoustic mode on. 3 Inserting or replacing batteries When the batteries are low, the meter emits three double beeps (2 short beeps three times in quick succession) when you turn it on. You can now perform about 50 more tests. Continue testing until all the test strips in your current test strip drum have been used up. Then replace the batteries and the test strip drum. ? If the meter is on, press the middle button (Test button) to turn it off. ? Hold the meter so the back is facing upwards, with the lancing device on the left. The battery compartment is located at the top right and extends to approximately the middle of the meter. At the lower end of the battery compartment cover is a ribbed area. ? Push the ribbed area forward as far as it will go (about 3 mm). ? This unlocks the battery compartment and you can remove the cover. You may turn the meter over if you wish, so the battery compartment cover drops off. Turn the meter over again so the battery compartment is again at the top right. ? Remove the used batteries. 10 Turning on Acoustic Mode Inserting or replacing batteries 11 ? Insert new batteries. Ensure that the flat, smooth end of the right-hand battery (minus end) is pointing downwards and the end with the rounded projection (plus end) is pointing upwards. The left-hand battery must be inserted the other way round, with the smooth, flat end pointing upwards and the end with the rounded projection pointing downwards. ? Place the battery compartment cover loosely back on the battery compartment. The battery compartment cover has slots along three edges of the battery compartment. The three prongs projecting from the cover must engage in the slots. The battery compartment cover is properly located over the battery compartment when the cover is loosely attached and is lying flush with the back of the meter. ? Slide the battery compartment cover downwards towards you. It locks with an audible CLICK. When you replace the batteries, the year, time and date settings i only remain saved as long as ? you do not take longer than two minutes to change the batteries, ? you do not press any button while there are no batteries in the meter and ? you do not open the drum compartment while there are no batteries inserted. After replacing the batteries, therefore, ask a sighted person to check and, if necessary, adjust the settings. If the year, time and date are not correctly entered, your future results will be displayed and saved without the time and date, in which case they will be sequentially numbered instead. Statistical calculations (e.g. of average values) and downloading of results to a computer can only be performed for results that have been saved together with the year, time and date. 12 Inserting or replacing batteries Inserting or replacing batteries 13 Inserting or replacing the test strip drum The test strip drum is a short cylinder that resembles a full spool of thread. One end of the test strip drum has a hole in the middle, the other end has a central, ring-shaped ridge. With the exception of the hole and the ridge, both ends of the drum are sealed with aluminium foil. On a new test strip drum this foil must be smooth, a sign that it is undamaged. ? Hold the meter so the buttons and the display screen are facing upwards with the test strip guide pointing towards you. To the right of the test strip guide is a small projection that is part of the drum compartment cover. ? Lift the projection upwards to open the drum compartment cover. ? Fold the drum compartment cover up as far as it will go. The drum compartment is a rectangular chamber. At the lower, right- hand corner of this chamber is a red button, the drum release button. ? Press the red button. If there is a test strip drum in the meter: ? Keeping hold of the drum compartment cover turn over the meter so the drum compartment is pointing downwards. The test strip drum drops out. ? Turn the meter back over so that the buttons are facing up. ? Take a new test strip drum from its container. ? Place the test strip drum in the drum compartment. Ensure that the end with the ring-shaped ridge is pointing in the direction of the test strip guide. The lower edge of the test drum compartment has a rectangular groove at its centre into which the ridge of the drum fits. When inserting the test strip drum, hold it so the two aluminium ends are vertical and the cylindrical body is parallel to the sides of the drum compartment. The test strip drum will only fit into the drum compartment when it is correctly aligned. ? Fold the drum compartment cover down and press it closed. It locks with an audible CLICK. The meter will rotate the test strip drum in order to read the barcode. You will hear the motor running. The meter then turns itself off. 14 Inserting or replacing the test strip drum Inserting or replacing the test strip drum 15 Preparing the lancing device When the lancing device is docked onto the meter, the cap is at the end of the meter where the test strip guide is also located. At the upper end of the lancing device is the plunger which is used to prime, trigger and eject the lancet. ? Pull the cap off downwards and remove it from the lancing device. Beneath the cap is a narrow cylinder, the lancet holder. If there is a lancet in the lancing device, only the lancet needle protrudes from the lancet holder. To avoid injuring yourself, do not grasp the lancet holder from the front. If there is a lancet in the lancing device: ? Hold the lancing device upright above a waste bin. ? Press the plunger in as far as it will go. The lancet drops out. If the lancet does not drop out, a sighted person must remove it. For details refer to the User's Manual for the meter (chapter entitled " Ejecting the used lancet " ). Make sure the lancet has dropped out. Inadvertently leaving the lancet in the lancing device may result in personal injury. The lancet is a small rectangle with a flat and a rounded end. The rounded end is the protective cap that is attached to the lancet needle. ? Slide a new lancet, flat end first, into the lancing device as far as it will go. When you hold the meter horizontally, a narrow side of the lancet (no matter which) must be facing upwards. The lancet will snap into place with an audible CLICK. ? Twist off the rounded end to expose the lancet needle. ? Press the cap back onto the lancing device. There is only one position in which the cap can be properly attached to the lancing device. To find it, lightly hold the cap against the lancing device and rotate it until you notice the cap slide over the lancet holder. Press the cap on tight. The cap is properly fitted when it locks into place with an audible CLICK. 16 Preparing the lancing device Preparing the lancing device 17 6 Testing blood glucose The cap rotates and is used to adjust the lancet penetration depth. Between the cap and the lancing device there is a gap. The wider the gap, the smaller the depth setting. ? Rotate the cap until you reach your chosen setting. The cap clicks at each penetration depth setting. When you turn on the meter to test blood glucose, shield it from very strong light sources (e.g. direct sunlight, studio lighting, spot lights, etc.) until the test has finished and the result has been announced. Very strong light sources may stop the meter from functioning correctly and cause error messages to be displayed. ? Press the middle button (Test button) to turn the meter on. The meter beeps when it is turned on. Shortly after that, you will hear the motor as the meter advances a test strip. ? Wait until you hear the next beep tone. This is the signal for you to apply blood. You have 5 minutes in which to do so. If you have not applied blood within 5 minutes, the meter turns i itself off. It does not beep to signal this. If this happens hold the meter so that the test strip is pointing downwards. Press the middle button (Test button) to eject the test strip. ? Wash your hands with warm water and soap and dry well. This helps ensure proper hygiene and stimulates blood flow. 18 Preparing the lancing device Testing blood glucose 19 ? Press the plunger all the way down. The plunger returns about a third of the way. The lancing device is now primed. ? Gently press the front end of the lancing device against a fingertip. You will feel the slightly raised ring at the centre of which is the pin-hole through which the lancet needle emerges. ? Press the plunger in as far is it will go. This triggers the lancet, which penetrates the skin. ? Gently massage the finger towards the fingertip to encourage a drop of blood to form. ? Hold the meter so the test strip is pointing downwards. ? Touch the drop of blood, as soon as it has formed, against the front edge of the test strip where the black notch is located. The strip draws up blood. The meter beeps when the test strip has drawn up sufficient blood. Measurement starts automatically and 000 will appear in the display. ? Move your finger away from the test strip. Measurement takes approximately 5 seconds. As measurement progresses, the three 0's disappear in turn from the display. If the meter does not beep, you have applied too little blood. You may apply more blood. ? After you have applied blood to the test strip, wipe the puncture site with a clean, dry tissue. We recommend protecting the site to keep it clean. When measurement is complete, the meter emits a double beep (two short beeps in quick succession). The result is then displayed and also announced as a series of beeps. The meter automatically saves the result to memory. 20 Testing blood glucose Testing blood glucose 21 Announcement of results as beeps Numbers are announced through a corresponding number of short beeps, e.g. four short beeps signify the numeral 4. Zero is represented by a long beep. Results larger than 33.3 mmol/L are represented as 999, i.e. three groups of nine short beeps with pauses between the groups. Results smaller than 0.6 mmol/L are represented as 000, i.e. three long beeps. Following two short beeps signifying the end of measurement the meter announces the result - tens first, then units, then the decimal point as a very short beep, and finally the tenths. There is a short pause between each group. The result 13.8 mmol/L is announced as follows: one short beep - pause - three short beeps - pause - one very short beep - pause - eight short beeps. The result 4.0 mmol/L is announced as follows: one long beep (for 0 tens) - pause - four short beeps - pause - one very short beep - pause - one long beep. The results are repeated twice. A double beep precedes each repetition. 22 Announcement of results as beeps Announcement of results as beeps 23 Ejecting the test strip ? Hold the meter over a waste bin with the test strip pointing downwards. (Test button) to turn the meter off. The used test strip drops out. ? Press the middle button 9 Ejecting the lancet ? Pull the cap off downwards and remove it from the lancing device. ? Hold the lancing device upright above a waste bin. ? Press the plunger in as far as it will go. The lancet drops out. If the lancet does not drop out, a sighted person must remove it. For details refer to the User's Manual for the meter (chapter entitled " Ejecting the used lancet " ). Make sure the lancet has dropped out. Inadvertently leaving the lancet in the lancing device may result in personal injury. 24 Ejecting the test strip Ejecting the lancet 25 Table with 4 columns and 4 rows10 Retrieving results from memory In addition to the results and the time and the date, your meter also saves all additional information that is pertinent to the measurement (see chapter entitled " Using Accu-Chek Compact Plus as an electronic notebook " in the User's Manual for the meter). However, only the most recently saved result and the average of the last 7 days are announced acoustically. These two values are represented in the same way as when the result is announced directly following a test. Three long beeps sound if there is no result in memory. No beep sounds if the average of the last 7 days cannot be calculated. If the most recently saved result is a quality control result, this is announced in the same way as any blood glucose result. There is no acoustic signal to identify quality control results. ? With the meter turned off, press the left-hand M button (M button). The most recently saved result is announced. Its announcement is preceded by a double beep. The announcement is repeated twice, each time preceded by a double beep. ? Press the right-hand S button (S button) and the left-hand button (M button) at the same time. The average of the last 7 days is announced. Its announcement is preceded by a double beep. The announcement is repeated twice, each time preceded by a double beep. ? Press the middle button (Test button) to turn the meter off. 10 Table endi i M 26 Retrieving results from memory Retrieving results from memory 27 11 Warnings and error messages In the case of warnings, flashing symbols appear in the display. In the acoustic mode, the meter emits three double beeps to indicate a warning. For the complete list please refer to the chapters entitled " Symbols " and " Messages and troubleshooting " in the User's Manual for the meter. Warnings may be issued at various times: ? After you turned the meter on: The batteries are running low: You can now perform about 50 more tests. ? While you are turning the meter off: You used the last test strip. The test strip drum is empty. ? Following a measurement, i.e. following the double beep that signifies that measurement is complete, and before the result is announced: ? The temperature during measurement was outside the permitted range of +10 °C to +40 °C. ? The 90-day use-by period for the test strip drum has been exceeded. Insert a new test strip drum. ? You inserted a partly used test strip drum. The meter requests you to perform a quality control check. ? While you are retrieving the most recent result from memory, following the double beep preceding announcement of the result and before the result is announced: ? The temperature during measurement was outside the permitted range of +10 °C to +40 °C. ? The 90-day use-by period for the test strip drum was exceeded. ? You had inserted a partly used test strip drum. ? After you closed the drum compartment cover: You inserted a partly used test strip drum or you have opened the drum compartment and there is a partly used test strip drum in the meter. The meter requests you to perform a quality control check. ? After you closed the battery compartment cover: You took longer than two minutes to replace the batteries (the year, date and time settings are lost) and left a partly used drum in the meter. The meter requests you to perform a quality control check. The meter displays error messages in the form of an E plus a number. In the acoustic mode the meter will also emit four double beeps when it displays an error message. There is no further acoustic differentiation.

Good morning all: I have a question for anyone on list who can answer. I am still using my aqucheck with the voice mate that comes with it. Unfortunately as I posted before they are no longer going to support this machine here in canada but I am using it for as long as it works and I can get strips for it. In the kit they included a cd of the manual but it goes into pdf format and I can not seem to read that on this dumb computer and I don't know how to convert it to text. Anyways I am getting off topic sort of. I just wondered if anyone remembers how after you take your blood sugars you can enter what insulin dose you are going to take. I can't seem to find anyone to read me the manual and tell me what to do. I used to have a braille sheet that also told me how to enter whether you took your blood sugars at breakfast lunch supper and bed time or before and after exersise and all of that good stuff. i tell you I love this machine. But I can't find that paper either and it is frustrating me. Urg. Anyways I want to know how to enter how much insulin and my carbs and that sort of thing. Have I totally confused all of you? I hope one of you can help me out. i am seeing my diabetic specialist next Saturday and I am having such trouble keeping this stupid disease under control. I would like him to look at all my entries on my machine so he can see what is going on. yesterday is history. Tomorrow a mystery. Today is a gift, that is why it is called the present.

Anyways I am getting off topic sort of. I just wondered if anyone remembers how after you take your blood sugars you can enter what insulin dose you are going to take. I can't seem to find anyone to read me the manual and tell me what to do. I used to have a braille sheet that also told me how to enter whether you took your blood sugars at breakfast lunch supper and bed time or before and after exersise and all of that good stuff. i tell you I love this machine. But I can't find that paper either and it is frustrating me. Urg. Anyways I want to know how to enter how much insulin and my carbs and that sort of thing. Have I totally confused all of you? I hope one of you can help me out. i am seeing my diabetic specialist next Saturday and I am having such trouble keeping this stupid disease under control. I would like him to look at all my entries on my machine so he can see what is going on. yesterday is history. Tomorrow a mystery. Today is a gift, that is why it is called the present.
