Proficiency Testing 8 Proficiency Testing Information regarding proficiency tests Observe the applicable regulations and directives of the responsible regulatory agencies when performing proficiency tests. Blood glucose proficiency 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 appropriate source after completing the test.
Proficiency Testing Information stored during proficiency testing The following information is stored for every proficiency test: ■ Test result ■ Sample ID ■ Lot number of the test strips ■ Time and date of test ■ Comments (if applicable) ■ Operator ID (if configured) For blood glucose proficiency tests, the sample ID (instead of patient ID) must be stored as identification. Sample IDs with up to 20 characters can be entered.
Proficiency Testing Performing a proficiency test Overview of test procedure Starting a proficiency test Main Menu A proficiency test comprises the following steps: ■ Enter a sample ID for the proficiency sample. ■ Check the lot number of the test strips. ■ Perform the actual test with the proficiency sample. The following description assumes that the meter is powered on and the main menu is displayed.

Initial Startup 9 Initial Startup Connecting the base unit NOTICE To ensure continuous safe and reliable operation, use only the power supply unit provided for the Accu-Chek Inform II system (for ordering information see page 139). 1 Slide the base unit upward and remove it from the wall mount (if in use). 2 Connect the power cord to the proper outlet.
Initial Startup Installing or replacing the battery pack When shipped, the battery pack is not installed in the Accu-Chek Inform II meter. After installing a new battery pack, the meter should be charged for three hours in the base unit before testing. Whenever the meter is in the base unit, the icon is displayed. This icon shows that power is available and the meter can charge, if necessary.
Initial Startup Removing the battery pack 1 If a battery pack is already installed, make sure that the meter is switched off. 2 Place the meter face down on a level surface. 3 Using a Torx screwdriver size T5, remove the two screws holding the battery pack in place. 4 Carefully remove the battery pack from the meter. The battery pack is still connected to the meter by the plug. 5 Remove the plug connector.
Initial Startup Installing the battery pack 96 1 Loosen the screws on the battery pack until they are protruding about 4-5 mm (2/10 in). 2 Position the battery pack alongside the meter so that the plug connector is level with the socket inside the meter. 3 Plug the connector plug into the socket. 4 If necessary, use a suitable tool (such as the Torx screwdriver) to push the plug completely into the socket.
Initial Startup 5 Place the tapering end of the battery pack on the small ledge of the opening and push down like a lid to close (as shown in the illustration below). Make sure that the plug connector wires slide into the groove provided for them on the battery pack. Gently pushing down the “lid” as described here helps to align the wires properly so that they do not get pinched or bent. 6 The battery pack should now fit neatly inside the meter.
Initial Startup 8 Place a ruler across the back of the meter to check that the battery pack is properly positioned. The ruler should lie completely flat, touching both sides of the meter on the left and right of the battery pack (see left image above). If this is not the case (as shown in the right image above), carefully loosen the screws again and start over with step 1. After inserting a new battery pack, the meter powers on automatically. ■ The Roche logo is displayed.
Initial Startup Docking the meter Docking the meter in the base unit allows you to charge the battery. When docked, the meter shows different messages according to the current meter status.
