The Accu‐Chek Guide Me is intended for in vitro diagnostic single‐patient use by people with diabetes. It is also intended to be used by a single person and should not be shared.

Please review the product information for safety guides and a quick start guide to learn how to use the Accu-Chek Guide Me.

When should I expect readings to sync with the Validic SDK?

You should expect the AccuCheck Guide Me to sync readings with the Validic SDK when the device is broadcasting. On the screen of the device, you will see the broadcasting element to the right of the element that notes Bluetooth is enabled.

...

After turning on the device the broadcasting icon will flash for around 15 seconds. This denotes that the device is broadcasting. When the icon becomes solid (not flashing) the device is no longer broadcasting but it is connected via Bluetooth. If the broadcasting icon disappears it is not broadcasting and is not connected to Bluetooth.

To get the AccuCheck Guide Me to broadcast again to sync readings it will need to be turned off and turned on again.
