Abstract:
A method of analyzing bodily fluids from a patient at the point of care for the patient is provided The method comprises establishing fluid communication between an analyte detection system and a bodily fluid in the patient. A portion of the bodily fluid is drawn from the patient. The analyte detection system analyzes the bodily fluid to measuie a concentration of an analyte. A test is performed on the analyte detection system according to a predetermined schedule to determine if the analyte detection system is properly calibrated. To perform the test a sample of a quality control solution is drawn into the analyte detection system and measured. The test results are compared to a reference range for the quality control solutions. If the measurements are within the reference range, the analyte detection system is permitted to resume analyzing the bodily fluids of the patient.
