Quality Control Test

When to Perform a Quality Control Test

• As required by your institution’s quality

control policy or local regulatory requirements.

• When you open a new bottle of test strips.

• If a patient test has been repeated and the

blood glucose results are still lower or higher

than expected.

• After cleaning the bedside unit.

• If there are other indications that the system

is not working properly.

• If you drop the bedside unit.

To ensure that a required QC test is performed at

the designated time, a warning or lockout mode

was selected. Both modes display a message

informing you that QC is due. The warning mode

allows you to continue with a patient test; the

lockout mode prevents you from using the bedside

unit for a patient test until QC is successfully

performed.

A second lockout mode prevents the operator who

has not performed QC testing within the

designated number of days from using the bedside

unit to test patient blood.

If a lockout mode was selected and QC is due, a

message appears when you start the bedside unit.

You cannot proceed with patient testing until the

required QC tests have been successfully

performed.
