Blood glucose testing in a multi-patient setting
_CP_LCM_Manual_EN-UK final.indd 151 _CP_LCM_Manual_EN-UK final.indd 151
Any patient with an infection or suffering from an infectious
disease and any patient who is a carrier of a multiresistant
organism must be assigned his/her own meter. This applies
also if a patient is suspected of being one of the above. For
as long as the suspicion exists, the meter must not be used
to test any other patient.
The Accu-Chek Softclix Plus finger pricker is intended only for
patient self-monitoring by a single person. It must not be used
to collect blood in a multi-patient setting as it does not
incorporate any features to guard against cross-infection.
Healthcare professionals testing blood glucose in a multi-patient
setting must not use the Accu-Chek Softclix Plus finger pricker to
collect blood and should therefore remove the finger pricker from
the meter. The finger pricker may be replaced with a blanking
plate (see Chapter 10.1).
For healthcare professionals we recommend the Accu-Chek
Safe-T-Pro Plus or Accu-Chek Safe-T-Pro Uno disposable finger
prickers.
The hypo indicator level may vary from person to person. There-
fore we recommend leaving the hypo indicator function turned
off when using the meter in a professional setting.
