Performing an emergency glucose test
You perform an emergency glucose test when you need
to perform a glucose test but a patient ID is not available.
Consequently, you skip patient identification and start
testing directly to get the result as fast as possible.
When your instrument is configured to perform an
emergency glucose test, the Emergency button is
available on the Tests screen.
With the exception of patient ID confirmation your
instrument’s regular glucose test configuration applies to
an emergency glucose test.
i
If your instrument is configured to override a QC
lockout, you can perform an emergency test
despite a QC lockout, when the QC lockout was
the result of a QC algorithm configuration
condition.
Your instrument can be configured to allow you
to override a QC lockout up to 9 times before you
must perform a QC test.
However, if the QC lockout is the result of a failed
QC test, the QC lockout cannot be overridden.
WARNING!
Incorrect interpretation of test result when using
anticoagulant tubes
To avoid harmful outcomes resulting from the incorrect
interpretation of a test result.
r When using anticoagulant tubes, do not store the
tube after drawing, but apply the blood immediately.
