Potential sources of error Control processes and risk mitigation strategies

Operator sources of error

 Lack of knowledge on proper handling of device and strips Close the test strip container tightly immediately after removing a test
strip to protect the test strips from humidity.

 Untrained operator performing the test After puncturing the site, gently squeeze the site to assist blood flow.
This helps to get enough blood drop.
Implement training to the operators prior using device

 Poor communication on identifying errors in the blood glucose

monitoring process Laboratory should check calibration and quality control of the device
prior distributing of the equipment to the respective wards.

Environmental sources of error

 Temperature extreme and light exposure Store unused glucose strips to a cool dry place and closed the lid tightly
