1. INTERNAL QUALITY CONTROL TESTING
Quality control testing should be performed to assess the accuracy of the strips and the Accu – Chek

Control tests should be run in the following circumstances:
Once in every 24 hour period.
Using the meter for patient testing for the first time
Each time a new vial of test strips is opened.
When using a new vial of test strips of a different lot number
When the test strips have been exposed to extremes heat, humidity or cold.
If a test strip vial was left open
If questionable test results are displayed repeatedly
To test the performance of the system
If a previous control test is out of range
If glucose control tests were not run at the proper intervals
If the Accu Chek Inform II meter has been dropped.
After the battery has been replaced.
Quality Control Lockout
The meter will only permit a patient test to be performed if quality control testing has been performed and
accepted within the last 24 hrs. If a glucose quality control test is required, the meter will lockout and
prevent patient testing.

patient testing.
