• Patient Glucose Testing
42
If a glucose control test is shown as required, patient glu-
cose testing cannot be performed until the controls are
run successfully.
For emergencies, STAT ( S hort T urn A round T ime) tests
can be configured in the meter. This option allows the
meter to perform a limited number of patient glucose
tests, if circumstances require, despite the meter being in
QC Lockout or Download Lockout (see page 68).
3.2 Performing a patient glucose test
Overview of test procedure A patient glucose test comprises the following steps:
■
Enter the patient ID. This can be done either man-
ually or by using the barcode scanner.
■
Confirm that the test strip lot matches the test strips
in use (if configured).
■
Perform the test.
■
Optionally a test may be categorized as an
Observed Test Sequence (see page 203).
Depending on how your meter is configured (see
page 121), QC Lockout occurs when
■
patient testing is attempted and controls have not
been run in the time interval or frequency estab-
lished by your facility.
■
controls have been run but the control values
were not in range.
■
a test strip lot other than the “current” lot is
selected.
■
new software has been installed.
■
Observe the applicable regulations and directives
for hygiene and safety when collecting blood
samples.
■
Observe the applicable regulations and directives
for disposing of potentially infectious samples and
materials.
