CHAPTER 2

Quality Control Test

Three levels of SureStepPro Glucose Control

Solution are available to check that the

SureStepPro Bedside Unit and SureStepPro

Test Strips are functioning properly.

The SureStepPro bedside units are calibrated at the factory. Although an internal verification is performed each time the bedside unit is turned on, a system calibration (bedside unit and test strip) is necessary. This is achieved at the start of each test when you enter the lot number and code for the current bottle of test strips.

If you are training a new operator on how to use the bedside unit, use the glucose control solutions and perform the testing in the In-Service mode. Refer to “In-Service Test” on page 75, for more information.

The number of control levels and frequency of running a QC test have been programmed by your system administrator. High, Low, and Normal control levels are available—any one control level or a combination of levels may have been selected.
