positions itself as the most accurate and least painful option for users.Advantages:
1. Accuracy. The Aviva glucose meter uses what Roche calls "Right Technology" to help it achieve its superior accuracy. First, the test strip is wider than normal, which makes using it easier for users to place the proper amount of blood on the strip. Getting this right amount of blood on the strip helps the meter be more accurate. Second, the meter performs almost 200 separate accuracy checks.
2. Lancing Device. Although this is a glucose meter review, the lansing devise for the Aviva gets a lot of attention. The meter uses the Multiclix lancing devise and it is the only device that uses six preloaded lancet drum. Thus, there is no need to change out the lancet for each test. Further, the Multiclix is billed as the least painful lancet device on the market.
3. Alternative Site Testing. The Aviva allows you to test on the finger, palm, forearm, upper arm, thigh and calf.
Disadvantages:
The main complaint with the Accu Chek Aviva glucose meter is that it is a bit large and is not conducive for discrete testing. In fact, this is generally a complaint with the two main Accu Chek meters from Roche.
