Blood glucose testing in a multi-patient setting
10
Any patient with an infection or suffering from an infectious
disease and any patient who is a carrier of a multiresistant
organism must be assigned his/her own meter. This applies
also if a patient is suspected of being one of the above. For
as long as the suspicion exists, the meter must not be used
to test any other patient.
The lancing device is intended for personal use only!
It may only be used by one and the same person for obtaining
blood. There is a risk of infections being transmitted if the lancing
device is used by other people, or if healthcare professionals use
this lancing device to obtain blood from more than one person,
even family members. This lancing device is therefore not
suitable for professional use in healthcare facilities or institutions.
Healthcare professionals testing blood glucose in a multi-patient
setting must not use the Accu-Chek Softclix Plus lancing device
to collect blood and should therefore remove the lancing device
from the meter. The lancing device may be replaced with a
blanking plate (see Chapter 10.1).
i
The hypo indicator level may vary from person to person.
Therefore we recommend leaving the hypo indicator function
turned off when using the meter in a professional setting.
