Testing Blood Glucose In Multiple Patients - Accu-Chek Advantage User Manual

Testing Blood Glucose in Multiple Patients

Only healthcare professionals are allowed to perform
blood glucose tests in a multiple patient testing
situation.
When using the meter always follow the recognized
procedures for handling objects that are potentially
contaminated with human material.
Practise the health and safety policy of your laboratory
or institution. Also, to stop your meter becoming
contaminated, please follow the directions printed on
the next few pages.
For healthcare professionals we recommend the
Accu-Chek Safe-T-Pro Plus disposable finger prickers.
Patients and healthcare workers are
potentially at risk of becoming infected when
the same blood glucose meter is used to test
blood glucose in several patients.
Any patient with an infection or suffering from
an infectious disease and any patient who is a
carrier of a multi-resistant organism must be
assigned his/her own meter. This applies also
if a patient is suspected of being one of the
above and, for as long as the suspicion exists,
the meter must not be used to test any other
patient.
