4 Glucose Control Testing
Information regarding glucose control tests
Observe the applicable regulations and directives of the
responsible regulatory agencies when performing
glu cose control tests.
Accurately testing known levels of glucose ensures that
the system and your technique used in testing give
accu rate results on patient tests. Glucose control
solutions have dened (known) values. The results for
these solu tions must rst fall within a certain acceptable
range in order to allow valid patient testing.
The system may be congured to require in-range
glu cose control testing before patient testing is allowed.
This is called QC Lockout, and the system actually
prevents patient and prociency testing when the control
results are not within the accepted range.
