Glucose Control Testing
54
Glucose control testing intervals
Intervals between running glucose control tests are
determined by your facility. These intervals are entered
when the system is configured. At the end of the speci fied
interval (or after a specific event such as starting to test
with a new test strip lot), a warning is displayed when the
meter is switched on and when the
Glucose Test
function
is selected.
Glucose control tests should be run in the following
cir cumstances:
n
Before using the meter for patient testing the first
time
n
At the glucose control intervals established by your
facility, if established
n
When using a new test strip vial for the first time
n
When using a new test strip lot for the first time
(and as a result a new test strip code)
n
If a test strip vial was left open
n
If questionable test results are displayed repeatedly
n
If you wish to test the performance of the system
In addition, the following events can be specified during
setup as a reason for a glucose control test:
n
If a previous control test is out of range
n
If glucose control tests were not run at the proper
intervals
If a glucose control test is required (as shown in the
illus tration on the left), you will not be able to test blood
glu cose until the controls have been run successfully. For
emergencies, STAT tests can be configured in the meter.
This option allows the meter to perform a limited number
of blood glucose tests, if circumstances require, despite
the meter being in QC Lockout (see page 63).
