D.
The use of another person’s ID in the ACCU-CHEK Inform ll meter is considered falsification
of a document and may be subject to disciplinary action.
16. Notes
a. In any situation where a patient has not been registered, the number 0911911 should be
used as the patient identification number. A custom comment should be entered in the
ACCU-Check
with the patient’s name at the time of testing. This will allow for charting and
billing when a financial number is assigned in the future.
b. In special situations, an employee may need to have a glucose test done. If this occurs, the
number 0123456 should be used. This will not be documented as a patient test.
c. You may get an error code if:
Strip is under filled
“
Type bad dose
”
Strip defective or previously used, glucose is <10 or end user did not wait for drop
symbol to appear before applying sample to the test strip -
“
Strip Defect Error
”
17. Reporting Results
a. Data is transferred from the meter into Cerner as follows:
i. Wireless Data Transfer: Results will automatically transfer wirelessly into Cerner if a
wireless connection is currently available upon completion of a test. A wireless
connection is activated when the testing operator touches
upon completing a
test. An available wireless connection is confirmed by the presence of
at the
bottom of the screen. If
is not present, a wireless connection is not currently
available. If a wireless connection is not currently available the meter will
automatically send results as soon as a wireless connection is established. The
meter will connect to Cerner every 10 minutes and transfer new data when a wireless
connection is available even if the meter is powered off. This connection gives the
meter the most up to date settings and ADT information when available.
ii. Wired Data Transfer: Results are transferred into Cerner by placing the meter into a
base unit that is connected to the hospital network through an RJ45 connection
connected to the hospital network). When properly docked the meter will
automatically transfer test results. The following series of screen displays will appear
to confirm that data transfer is occurring:
1.
“Connecting,” (meter is establishing connection)
2.
“Transferring,” (meter is transferring information)
3.
“Idle” (meter has finished communications and is ready to use.)
The meter can be removed and used at any time during the transfer of information.
Any information not completed will be transferred the next time the meter is docked.
When properly docked the meter will communicate every 10 minutes even if the
meter is off. This connection gives the meter the most up to date settings and ADT
information when available. This transfer can occur also when a wireless meter is
docked in a connected base unit.
