8 Prociency Testing
Information regarding prociency tests
Observe the applicable regulations and directives of the
responsible regulatory agencies when performing
pro ciency tests.
Blood glucose prociency tests are run on samples
whose values are unknown to the operator performing
the test. These samples are provided by an outside
source, and the results should be forwarded to the
appro priate source after completing the test. The supplied
samples are treated in the same manner as regular
patient samples.
Blood glucose prociency testing provides another
means to verify that your technique, reagents, system, and
testing performance are as they should be. Some
regulatory agencies require that these prociency
sam ples be tested as part of an institution’s quality
assurance program before certication of the institution
is allowed.
Note: When using a data management system for
conguration, it is possible to partially or fully disable
the functions described in this chapter. In this case,
the respective buttons in Main Menu 2 do not appear.
