CHAPTER 6

Special Tests

The Special Tests function allows you to perform tests that are not routinely performed, such as a linearity test and an unknown solution test. Special Tests also features an In-Service mode, which allows you to use the bedside unit for training new operators. Test results obtained while operating in the In-Service mode are uploaded to the DataLink workstation and can be viewed in the Datalog Report generated by the system administrator.

Linearity Test

A Linearity Solution kit is available from LifeScan. The kit contains five levels of glucose solution used to check the linearity of the system. Linearity solution results can be affected at altitudes of 2000 feet or greater. Read the SureStepPro Linearity Test Kit package insert for information.

Refer to your institution’s policy for establishing the linearity of a test method.
