Operation

Run a linearity solution test as you would a control solution test. Follow the instructions under “Performing a Quality Control Test” on page 23, testing the linearity levels in replicates as specified by your institution’s policy.

Compare the linearity results with the linearity target values printed on the SureStepPro Test Strip bottle, or with your institution’s established ranges. Linearity solution results can be affected at altitudes of 2000 feet or greater. Read the SureStepPro Linearity Test Kit package insert for more information.

Patient Blood Test

LifeScan recommends that only certified operators perform blood glucose testing using the SureStep Hospital Meter. Follow your institution’s policies for in-service training to become a certified operator.
