Protection against infections
There is a potential risk of infection. Medical staff using the STANDARD LipidoCare Analyzer to perform measurements for more than one patient must be aware
that any object coming into contact with human blood is a potential source of infection.
•
Use gloves.
•
Apply blood outside the Analyzer. When measuring glucose in several persons clean and disinfect the Analyzer before each measurement as blood
cannot be applied using capillary pipettes.
•
When measuring cholesterol and triglycerides in several persons, always use capillary pipettes to apply blood outside the Analyzer.
•
Dispose of used capillary pipettes and lipid test strips in a clinical waste bin.
•
Follow all other locally applicable guidelines and regulations on health and safety.
