Safety information
Protection against infection
There is a potential risk of infection. Medical staff and other persons using the Accutrend Plus
instrument to perform measurements for more than one patient must be aware that any object
coming into contact with human blood is a potential source of infection.
• Use gloves
• When performing several measurements, apply blood outside the instrument
• Discard used test strips in a sharps container or sturdy container with lid
• Follow all other locally applicable health and safety regulations
• Use a professional lancing device such as the Accu-Chek Safe-T-Pro to prevent cross contamination.
