The green box is printedin Chinese...although I was told the are made here, I wasn't convinced that was true.

Purple is american, green is for foreign distribution (I think due to the foreign language in packaging) - I've used both and think either is fine

No- you need to use the specific test strips-ACCU-CHEK Aviva Plus 50 test strips. I think each machine is a little different. I LOVE this meter- so well worth the investment.

The color of the plastic container is a different color than the vitamin C inside. It is very easy to see the contrast difference as it wears down from the top to the bottom.

The packages I received are 1/2 purple and 1/2 white which is different from the previous order which had all purples packages. I'm assuming this is the new product.

Hey Leon. I haven't done a control test in a long time and my CardioChek still comes very close to my medical blood test. It's been a long time but, as I recall, the instructions seemed to refer to a test strip that I had to somehow purchase BUT that my monitor also arrived with a grey strip that could be used as a control. I have never used anything but the grey, plastic strip and (like I say) I haven't seen a significant difference between the personal and hospital tests, in years. One thing you'll have to look out for. I rarely run a test and my strips sometimes "expire" before I get to use them all. I suspect this is mostly a gimmick to sell more strips. For example, how could a strip be valid on January 4th and then be expired/worthless on January 5th? But in general, I think this is a great device for measuring TRENDS in blood cholesterol and triglycerides.

I received the one with the light up green area some time ago. The design might have changed since the time of my purchase.

If you are talking about accu check , each bottle has a chip inside with them that should replace the chip from the last bottle. For True test , they are not coded.If you are talking about a code that appears on the device I recommend you call the manufacturer or contact them by email, they typically respond quickly. They can give you some tips as well as replacement strips should they be defective(Sometimes they do this)

The purple box. Is the product the same or better quality in the white box?

Yes, but I'm going to assume that since I was contacted by Amazon with your question, you are ordering from the same place that I did. I ordered them because I saw the picture of the War greens brand test strips. Even though, (so far) the strips work fine, they are an off brand, clearly mark, (I believe it was) NOT FOR RESALE.

Mine was a light purple. Went to the doctor and tested positive with their test. You must be a little positive due to the color.

it depends on how many drops you put in it. we are keeping it at the beginning of the purple bar b/c super purple we don't' need and also helps saving some drops for later. we did the test at the beginning when we first got the drops. (purple is alkaline). their recommendation was going to be super alkalined. i hope this helped

The box I am using has already expired, but that may be because I do less daily testing than average. Though the box expired months ago, my results match what I get at the doctor's office.

The green one is marked FREE which means it is Zinc free & NO artificial flavors & color so it comes out of tube CLEAR color where the pink box the paste comes out PINK color.. I prefer the green box that is FREE because it matches with your gums better.. hope this helps
