Testing blood glucose in more than one patient – Information for healthcare professionals
Testing blood glucose in more than one patient – Information for health‑10
care professionals
Only staff working in doctors’ practices, hospitals and
diabetes training centres, and nurses are allowed to
perform blood glucose tests on more than one patient
using the same Accu-Chek Active meter.
When using the meter always follow the recognised
procedures for handling objects that are potentially
contaminated with human material. Practise the
health and safety policy of your laboratory or institu-
tion.
Please also follow the instructions on the following
pages to prevent the meter becoming contaminated.
Any patient with an infection or suffering
from an infectious disease and any patient
who is a carrier of a multi‑resistant micro‑
organism must be assigned his/her own
meter. This also applies if it is suspected
that a patient has one of the above. During
this time the meter must not be used to
test any other patient.
