Introduction
The Accu‑Chek Performa Nano System
The Accu‑Chek Performa Nano meter is designed to be used with the Accu‑Chek Performa and
Accu‑Chek Inform II test strips to quantitatively measure glucose in fresh venous, arterial, neonatal, and
capillary whole blood as an aid in monitoring the effectiveness of glucose control. Capillary whole blood
for testing of blood glucose can be obtained from fingertip and approved alternative sites (for example,
forearm). Refer to the Alternative Site Testing (AST) section of this manual for approved alternative sites
and associated limitations. The Accu‑Chek Performa Nano meter with the Accu‑Chek Performa or
Accu‑Chek Inform II test strips provide a complete test system that is meant for in vitro diagnostic use by
healthcare professionals in clinical settings and by people with diabetes at home. The system is not for
use in diagnosis or screening of diabetes mellitus. Healthcare professional blood sample collection and
preparation is described in the test strip package insert.
