care professionals

Only staff working in doctors’ practices, hospitals and 

diabetes training centres, and nurses are allowed to 

perform blood glucose tests on more than one patient 

using the same Accu-Chek Active meter. 

When using the meter always follow the recognised 

procedures for handling objects that are potentially 

contaminated with human material. Practise the 

health and safety policy of your laboratory or institu-

tion.

Please also follow the instructions on the following 

pages to prevent the meter becoming contaminated.

Any patient with an infection or suffering 

from an infectious disease and any patient 

who is a carrier of a multi‑resistant micro‑

organism must be assigned his/her own 

meter. This also applies if it is suspected 

that a patient has one of the above. During 

this time the meter must not be used to 

test any other patient.
