Test results appear within seconds and can be stored for additional tracking and monitoring options.

Error Messages of the Accu-Chek Advantage

• The Accu-Chek Advantage LCD screen indicates measured blood-sugar readings and will also display certain errors. A display showing EEE means the meter has failed its internal electronic checks. To remedy this, turn the meter off and then back on.
