CHAPTER 1

Introduction

The SureStepPro Bedside Unit is one

component of LifeScan’s professional blood

glucose monitoring system. When used with

SureStepPro Test Strips, the bedside unit

measures a patient’s blood glucose level from a

whole blood sample taken at the bedside. Blood

is applied directly to the test strip before the

strip is inserted into the bedside unit. A confir-

mation dot on the test strip helps you check

that an adequate volume of sample was applied.

The unit is equipped with a barcode scanner

and a large touch-sensitive display, both of

which allow you to enter operator, patient, and

reagent information.

Before use, each bedside unit must be

configured by your institution’s system

administrator. Your administrator has defined a

set of options from a central workstation

running DataLink

™

Data Management System

software (or compatible data management

software). This configuration process provides

the flexibility to customize a blood glucose

testing protocol that meets the needs of your

institution.
