Accu-chek Aviva Glucose Test Strips, 50 count - No Code KEY

I had the meter but no strips and never used it before. I got this box at a good price. It said "no code key" but I assumed they would somehow work anyway. Not familiar with a meter that requires a code. But since there was no code key they didn't work. Why wouldn't that be explained for other newbies like me? Who can use these? They are essentially worthless. I returned them and Amazon is giving me a refund, unless they change their mind. But I don't get it and I thought I should warn other customers. I'm not the only one. If you know how to use these without the code key let me know :)

I just got done speaking with Accu-check about these strips, they do not work and I cannot use them. When I use them I get an error message (E-1). I shared the product info with the company (Lot number 498511, ref number 04015630068081) and the company rep said that these strips are "international". Not sure what that means since it has the company's brand on it. Perhaps they are fraudulent. Do not waste your money.

I got my order today, only 3 days after your first day of promised window of arrival! This was the original item in its original sealed box of testing strips as advertised with an Exp. date of 7-31-2017 and today is 12-15-16 ( more than 6 months left!) I use 1 % day so it lasts for 50 days give or take a day. It was worth the wait for the good price and sturdy packaging from India. Highly recommended by a long time diabetic. Very satisfied! Will order again when needed. Merry Christmas and Healthy Happy New Year to all!

Fast shipping and the expiration date was over 1 year from now. Buying them from amazon I wouldn't expect out of date medical products anyway. I see lots of questions about code keys, no this does not come with one but the newer meters don't use code keys. All they need is replacement tester strip, that is why these strips are less expensive.

No code key! I can’t use these strips in my Accu Chek Aviva without a code key and nowhere did I see that these would not have one as all my others have! As soon as I opened the package and realized it I noticed it says it on a sticker on the box ‘no code key’ but nowhere on the listing I actually ordered from. Pretty shady.

Can't argue with the product or the price or the speed of delivery. I've been using these for almost a decade. Love the lack of expiration date and code keys now. My only complaint is that maybe 10% (4-5 strips) were defective. I'd put them in and my reader didn't respond at all. It's a negligible amount and maybe i just got a bad box. This is definitely a new trend and If i find these to be the exception in the future (because i'm definitely reordering), will gladly add the docked star.

Great, reliable product. I’m 26 and was recently diagnosed with diabetes, I test 4 times a day and these are very accurate! Very happy with my purchase, I was a little thrown off by some of the reviews but the testing strips turned out to be accurate!

They worked perfectly.

The Aviva tester and test stripes are the best that I've used since my diagnosis with diabetes.When I have had difficulties getting a reading, I can be pretty sure that its been user error, each strip will draw up the blood pretty quickly and well when pressed against the puncture spot. They are easy to thread into and remove from the tester.There is a decent number of testing strips per tube/bottle and the lid pops open and closed without any difficulty.

Only discovered by accident by blue bin. no notice in door so wet the cardboard outer fell apartcontents ok as in plastic tube inside their own box. You usually don't do that??????????

They are as described and have a long date because I was unsure at first because people had put that they were out of date or extremely close to the expiration date but I advise anyone to ignore those comments

Beware when buying 50 test strips, the strips that came with the meter kit had a "use by date" of one year. An extra 50 strips bought from Blukoo will only last 5 months !! therefore only purchase if a validity date is shown or offered or better still ten at a time.

Just the same as the ones I had on prescription.
