TRUE METRIX
®
PRO Professional Blood
Glucose Monitoring System
Training Certification Program
Trained and competent testing personnel are
essential to good quality testing and patient care.
Waived testing sites are subject to a high rate of
personnel turnover. Personnel should be trained
and competent in each test they will perform before
reporting patient results. In addition, training should
include aspects of safety (including Infection Control
Policies) and Quality Control. The Risk Management
and Chief Medical Officer, and other persons
responsible for overseeing testing should ensure
that testing personnel receive adequate training and
are competent to perform the procedures for which
they are responsible.
