This section describes how to perform tests with the StatStrip
Glucose Hospital Meter System.
3.1 Important Safety Instructions
Standard Precautions should be adhered to when handling
or using the StatStrip Glucose Hospital Meter System to
reduce the risk of disease transmission.
All parts of the StatStrip Glucose Hospital Meter System are
considered potentially infectious and can potentially transmit
blood-borne pathogens between patients and healthcare
professionals.
Only auto-disabling, single-use lancing devices may be
used with this system.
The StatStrip Glucose Hospital Meter System may only
be utilized for testing on multiple patients when Standard
Precautions are followed and when the system is cleaned
and disinfected after use on each patient following the pro-
cedure in Section 6.3.
Healthcare professionals should wear a new pair of protec-
tive gloves before testing each new patient.
