Before you perform your first blood glucose test, set up the meter correctly. You need the meter with

* The black activation chip is not for use with Accu‑Chek Inform II test strips. If you are using Accu‑Chek
Inform II test strips, remove the black activation chip and discard it. See the Accu‑Chek Inform II test
strip package insert for instructions on coding the meter.
