Can Operator ID numbers be less or more than 9 digits? Our Pt ID's are 9 digits as well. We've had instances where Op ID's are scanned instead of pt ID's. This creates a lag uploading into the pt's chart due to an incident report that must be filed. Thank you so much for any suggestions to circumvent or prevent this issue.

Yes, the Operator ID numbers for the Abbott FreeStyle Precision Pro can be between 1 and 30 digits, so they can be less or more than 9 digits.

Meter The FreeStyle Precision Pro meter has many features designed to help simplify testing. It can be used with one hand, either the left or the right. The display has large text and is backlit to make reading easy. The keypad is similar to a telephone and each button clicks when pressed.
Page 17
Test Strips FreeStyle Precision Pro and Precision Xceed Pro Test Strips offer the latest advancements in biosensor technology. The test strips work by first inserting the contact bars into the meter. Then the sample is applied to the target area, covering both the working electrode and the reference electrode.
Page 18
FreeStyle Precision Pro Blood β-Ketone Test Strips and Precision Xceed Pro Blood β-Ketone Test Strips are also available for use with the FreeStyle Precision Pro system. These test strips have chemistry to specifically measure β-hydroxybutyrate, the primary ketone produced when a patient is developing ketoacidosis.
Page 19
There are four types of test strips that may be used for testing with the FreeStyle Precision Pro system: the FreeStyle Precision Pro Blood Glucose Test Strips and Precision Xceed Pro Blood Glucose Test Strips (blue foils) for testing glucose levels in fresh whole blood, and the FreeStyle Precision Pro Blood β-Ketone Test Strips and Precision Xceed Pro Blood β-Ketone Test Strips (purple...

Use RNA Medical brand Glucose and β-Ketone Calibration Verification Controls to confirm the calibration and analytical measurement range of the meter for FreeStyle Precision Pro Blood Glucose or Blood β-Ketone Test Strips. This is called linearity testing and requires a kit with 5 levels of control solution. Linearity testing is further described in Chapter 7.

Using the Meter Barcode Scanner The barcode scanner enables you to scan barcode information, using specified 1D and 2D barcode formats (please refer to Chapter 13), into the meter instead of manually entering the data using the keypad. Scanning the barcode on the test strip foil packet automatically enters the test strip information (calibration, control range, lot number and expiry date).
Page 24
Step 3: Slowly move the meter, if needed, so that the green beam is directly over the barcode. Step 4: The meter will beep in acknowledgement when it accepts the barcode. Note: If you hold the Scan button for three seconds, the scanner stops. Reposition scanner and try again. Optimal distance depends on barcode type.
On/Off Press this button to turn the meter on. Each time the meter is turned on, the Abbott logo screen will appear in black for a few seconds and then will appear in grey. This provides an opportunity to ensure that all the pixels are working correctly.

Backlight/Alphanumeric Press and hold this button for about 2 seconds to activate the display backlight. Press this button while manually entering data to toggle between numeric, uppercase alpha mode and lowercase alpha mode during manual data entry. When in alpha mode, enter alpha characters on the screen by pressing the 2 to 9 buttons multiple times to cycle through the characters.
Audible Indicator The meter has an audible indicator that can be turned on or off. This indicator emits two tones, a high pitched tone to indicate success and a low pitched tone to indicate a problem. If enabled, the meter will beep to indicate the following actions: • The operator has successfully scanned a barcode;...

• Use only control solutions specified in the test strip instructions for use to verify the performance of the FreeStyle Precision Pro meter. • Use FreeStyle Precision Pro and Precision Xceed Pro Test Strips with the FreeStyle Precision Pro meter. • Refer to the test strip package insert for specific directions on storage and use of the test strips.
Page 34
• Do not use test strips if the strip port module is not fully inserted. User will receive an error message if the strip port module is not secure. • Use each test strip only once. • Do not scan a test strip packet's barcode and then use a test strip from a different packet. This may cause inaccurate results. • Apply a drop of blood to the target area at the end of the test strip.
Collecting Blood Samples How to Obtain a Capillary Blood Sample (For Glucose or Ketone Testing): • Only auto-disabling single use lancing devices should be used. • Use a new pair of clean gloves for each patient. • Use only fresh whole blood samples. • Make sure that the sampling site is clean and dry before lancing.
How to Obtain a Venous Blood Sample (For Glucose or Ketone Testing): • Use a new pair of clean gloves for each patient. • Use only fresh whole blood samples. • Collect the venous blood sample in a collection tube containing heparin or EDTA. Make sure that the tube is filled to the stated volume.
How to Obtain an Arterial Blood Sample (For Glucose Testing): • Use a new pair of clean gloves for each patient. • Use only fresh whole blood samples. • Clear the arterial line before drawing a blood sample into a heparinised syringe. • Use the sample within 30 minutes of collection.
• The blood can be collected in a capillary tube coated with heparin, and then applied to the test strip. Mix the blood specimen well immediately before applying the sample to the target area of the test strip. • Alternately, you can use the heel-to-strip method: Allow a hanging drop of blood to form from the heel and apply to the target area of the test strip.
Patient Test Procedure - FreeStyle Precision Pro Glucose Use the following procedure to perform a patient test using the FreeStyle Precision Pro Blood Glucose Test Strip.

Questions and answers
Can Operator ID numbers be less or more than 9 digits? Our Pt ID's are 9 digits as well. We've had instances where Op ID's are scanned instead of pt ID's. This creates a lag uploading into the pt's chart due to an incident report that must be filed. Thank you so much for any suggestions to circumvent or prevent this issue.
Yes, the Operator ID numbers for the Abbott FreeStyle Precision Pro can be between 1 and 30 digits, so they can be less or more than 9 digits.
