10 Blood glucose testing in a multi-patient setting –
Information for healthcare professionals
Only professionals working in doctors' practices, hospitals and diabetes
training centres as well as in-patient and ambulent nursing staff are
allowed to perform blood glucose tests on more than one patient using
the same Accu-Chek Compact Plus meter.
When using the meter always follow the recognized procedures for
handling objects that are potentially contaminated with human material.
Practice the hygiene and safety policy of your laboratory or institution.
Also, to stop your meter becoming contaminated, please follow the
directions printed on the next few pages.
Notes
Patients and healthcare workers are potentially at risk of
becoming infected when the same Accu-Chek Compact Plus
meter is used to test blood glucose in several patients. Any object
coming into contact with human blood is a potential source of
infection (see: Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute:
Protection of Laboratory Workers from Occupationally Acquired
Infections; Approved Guideline – Third Edition; CLSI document
M29-A3, 2005).
