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.
