Purpose:
This procedure provides one-page quick reference guides for several basic operations involving
the Nova StatStrip
Glucose Hospital Meter System. This is intended to help users get access
to easy-to-follow job aides and process charts.
While the information in these quick reference guides are accurate, the materials are presented

can potentially transmit blood-borne pathogens between patients and healthcare
professionals.
2. Always wear a new pair of protective gloves before testing each new patient.
3. Only utilize single-use lancing devices. Do not re-use lancets.
4. Follow all operating instructions. Do not attempt to operate any equipment unless
