The LCD screen of the Accu-chek Aviva blood glucose monitor has a number of error display settings. The Accu-chek official website has a user manual for the device that explains the various codes and their implications.
The error codes marked by “E-” followed by a number, according to the Accu-chek website, explain typical errors. An E-1 error with a test strip image indicates that the test strip is damaged or the code key is wrong. An E-2 error indicates that the code key is wrong. E-3 errors indicate abnormally high blood glucose levels or a test strip error.
An E-4 error, which happens when not enough blood or solution is obtained, necessitates a second test try. E-5 indicates that the code key entered is from a test strip batch that has expired. Blood or solution was administered to the test strip before the device was constructed if E-6 was discovered.
E-7 denotes an electronic malfunction or the reuse of a previously used test strip. E-8 indicates that the temperature is too high for proper testing, while E-9 indicates that the battery has to be replaced. According to Accu-chek, E10 appears when the date and time settings are incorrect.
Instead of a numerical code, some Aviva models display “Err.” The icons associated with the problems listed above are used by these devices to signal the error. According to Accu-chek, the only exception is EEE, which signals an electronic fault.
