Glucose control testing intervals Intervals between running glucose control tests are
determined by your facility. These intervals are entered
when the system is configured. At the end of the speci-
fied interval (or after a specific event such as starting to
test with a new test strip lot), a warning is displayed when
the meter is powered on and when the Glucose Test
function is selected.
Glucose control tests should be run in the following cir-
cumstances:
■ Before using the meter for patient testing the first
time
■ At the glucose control intervals established by your
facility
■ When using a new test strip vial for the first time
■ When using a new test strip lot for the first time
(and as a result a new test strip code)
■ If a test strip vial was left open
■ If questionable test results are displayed repeatedly
■ If you wish to test the performance of the system
In addition, the following events can be specified during
setup as a reason for a glucose control test:
■ If a previous control test is out of range
■ If glucose control tests were not run at the proper
intervals
If a glucose control test is required (as shown in the illus-
tration on the left), you will not be able to test blood glu-
cose until the controls have been run successfully. For
emergencies, STAT tests can be configured in the meter.
This option allows the meter to perform a limited number
of blood glucose tests, if circumstances require, despite
the meter being in QC Lockout (see page 81).
