Abbott Precision XceedPro - Operating Guidelines for Control Solution Testing

This chapter describes the steps for running a control test with control solutions. Control tests verify the performance of
the Precision Xceed Pro Monitor and Test Strips.
The quality control features of the monitor can be customized to fit the requirements of each facility.
The monitor can be set to require:
• Testsoflow,normalandhighcontrolsolutionsoravariationdependingonthefacility’spolicy.
• Testsofcontrolsolutionsatrelativetimes(e.g.every24hours)orfixedtimes(e.gat6:00a.m.,2:00p.m.,and
10:00 p.m.).
• ControltestresultstoappearasnumericvalueorPass/Fail.
These quality control features can be set through the data management system.
