About the observed test sequence (OTS)
The observed test sequence (OTS) enables an observer
(supervisor) to assess and record a user’s ability to
perform a glucose patient test (for recertification
purposes, for example).
The observer monitors a user performing a test to check
that the test is being performed according to
recommended procedures.
The supervisor then evaluates the performance and
passes or fails the user. This assessment is saved
together with the glucose test result and any necessary
comments.
If a user’s current certification expires, they are locked
out from performing tests. The user can be notified by a
personal message, in advance, that they must recertify.
The notification is configured using the Show user
lockout warning prior to user certificate expiration
configuration item.
About adding comments to a test result
Comments enable you to add supplemental information
to a test result.

A button or a button in a test result screen
indicates that you can enter comments for that result. All
test types can be configured for comments to be entered
for a test result.
The color of the comment button indicates that comment
entry is optional or mandatory. When comment entry is
mandatory, the next step in the test can only be
performed after at least one comment has been entered.
