Blood Glucose Meter Accuracy: Results You Can Act On

When you check your blood sugar, you need to know that your meter is giving you an accurate result. However, a meter's real-world accuracy depends on a combination of strict manufacturing standards and daily testing habits. 

Blood Glucose Meter Accuracy

At Roche, the maker of Accu-Chek products, we believe you deserve a reliable meter and a test result you can act upon with absolute confidence. That's why ensuring quality and advanced accuracy has always been our top priority. In an average week, our quality control process tests a combined total of over 60,000 Accu-Chek test strips for consistent accuracy.

In addition, strict manufacturing processes ensure that our products meet uncompromising standards of quality:

  • Continuous Testing: For every lot of Accu-Chek test strips containing millions of strips, one out of every 128 vials is tested for consistency of performance.
  • Real-World Simulation: Vials representative of the entire lot are tested a second time using blood at a variety of glucose levels to reflect a real-world environment.
  • Strict Investigation: To ensure that all strips we release to the market meet our high standards, investigation and additional testing are performed should a test strip sample show a reading outside specific tight ranges.
