following situations, the use of urine controls is highly recommended:
a) at the beginning of the daily routine measurements
b) if a new bottle of test strips is opened
c) if test results are in doubt
d) if operators are trained on the system
Urine samples should be handled as a potentially infectious liquid. The equipment which comes
into contact with urine, should be disinfected thoroughly after having finished working.
