In-service plan for blood glucose testing
• Non-numeric blood glucose results could include the following:
• HI – the result may be above the reading range of the system
• LO – the result may be below the reading range of the system
• RR HI – the result may be above the reportable range set by the system administrator
• RR LO – the result may be below the reportable range set by the system administrator
• CR HI – the glucose result may be above the critical range set by the
system administrator
• CR LO – the glucose result may be below the critical range set by the
system administrator
• Follow-up on any patient result that exceeds critical or reportable limits or is not consistent with
the patient’s condition, according to facility policy.
• If the error message “Strip Defect Error” appears on the display, the test strip may
be defective or the blood glucose result may be extremely low and below the meter’s
measurement range. Refer to the test strip package insert, perform a quality control test using
a new test strip, review proper testing procedure, and repeat the blood glucose test; or follow
your facility’s testing policy. If the message persists, contact ACCU-CHEK Customer Care
at 1-800-440-3638.
• If the meter displays “Type Bad Dose,” there may be insufcient amount of blood on the test
strip. Repeat the test using a new test strip, ensuring proper sample application, or refer to
the test strip package insert. If the message persists, contact ACCU-CHEK Customer Care
at 1-800-440-3638.
All error messages displayed by the system have a letter identifying the message type, a
number and a description of the error to help the operator take action to resolve the problem.
The different message types are in the table below.
E
• Identies the notication as an Error. The information noties the operator of an
error that occurred.
W
• Identies the notication as a Warning. The information does not block the
operator from continuing, but rather gives the operator information that may
suggest an alternate workow is required.
I
• Identies the notication as Informational only.
• Informational notications present the operator with contextual information, and
allow the operator to proceed after conrming the notication.
D
• Identies a Decision point.
• Decision notications provide the operator with a choice based on
contextual information.
