5.1 Checking the measurement system
In order to obtain reliable results you must check the perfor-
mance of your meter at certain times. A performance check
should be carried out:
once a week if you use the meter regularly and
frequently, e.g. for blood glucose self-monitoring,
whenever you start a new pack of test trips and there-
fore recode the meter (which can lead to a change in
the code),
whenever you have changed the batteries,
after cleaning the meter,
whenever you obtain a doubtful reading,
in the medical setting, according to the guidelines or
regulations for quality control measurements applying
in your surgery or laboratory.
You will need the following:
Accutrend
