The Accu - Chek Inform II system or its components must be treated as potentially bio hazardous waste.
Users must be aware that any object being exposed to human blood is a potential source of infection.

Use gloves.

Dispose of used test strips into a yellow sharps container.
All COSHH and risk assessment documents for the Roche blood glucose monitoring system
are available from POCT if required (see contacts).
Calibration procedures (metrological traceability)
Calibration (coding) of meters is the responsibility of the POCT Team.
Every Lot of test strip pots includes a code key. Each code key belongs to a single lot number and provides
important information about the lot-specific properties of the test strip. The properties of the test strip are
uploaded (as a code file) from the code key using the code key reader and sent to the meter. The code file is
stored in the meter. This procedure also allows the code key information to be stored centrally in the data
management system, where it can be sent to all the meters used in the Trusts.
If the code number you want to use is not stored in the instrument memory you must contact the POCT Team
on Tel ext 5587 for assistance.
The code chip in each pot of strips is not required and can be discarded.
Traceability: The system is calibrated with venous blood containing various glucose concentrations. The
reference values are obtained using a validated test method. The test method is referenced to the hexokinase
method and is traceable to a NIST standard.
