Preparing to test
For more detailed information regarding the
ACCU-CHEK Inform II test strip, refer to the package
insert for instructions for use, performance
characteristics, and limitations of the system.
The following requirements must be met before you can
perform a test:
n The ACCU-CHEK Inform II test strips are available.
n At least one code le for test strips must be stored
in the meter and match the lot number of the test
strips used (see Chapter 6).
n An operator ID must be entered (with password, if
required), if the meter is congured for login.
n Glucose control tests specied in the system
conguration must be run and completed
successfully before running patient tests.
Information whether glucose control tests are
necessary is displayed in the Power Up screen.
n If congured, the meter may require downloading
stored data to the data management system within
dened time intervals. If such a download (either
via WLAN or by docking the meter in a base unit)
does not happen within the specied time, the
meter is locked (Download Lockout) and cannot be
used for testing.
If a glucose control test is shown as required, patient
glu cose testing cannot be performed until the controls
are run successfully. For emergencies, Short Turn-Around
Time tests (STAT) tests can be congured in the meter.
This option allows the meter to perform a limited number
of patient glucose tests, if cir cumstances require, despite
the meter being in QC Lock out or Download Lockout (see
page 61).
In Measurement mode only: If you are performing a
test (patient, control, prociency or linearity), the
meter will power off after 10 minutes of inactivity (no
screen touches), independently of congured
automatic power off time. If a result is already present,
the meter will emit three warning beeps every minute
after 5 minutes of inactivity and will save the result
before powering off after 10 minutes of activity.
