The first thing staff sees when filling out our log is big, bold lettering that says: "DO NOT USE ANY REMAINING STRIPS 90 DAYS AFTER OPENING THE BOTTLE" and "CONTROL SOLUTIONS EXPIRE AFTER 90 DAYS." They can see when the strips and solution were opened and replace if nec- essary. • Clean the monitor. On a sep- arate log, we record the results of a patient's pre-op blood glu- cose reading. In addition to the usual info — patient label, sugar reading, if treatment is recom- mended — we also designated a spot on the results log for our nurse to indicate if she cleaned the monitor with a disinfectant wipe after use. You can download a PDF of our blood glucose testing log at outpatientsurgery.net/forms. Amy Eller Core Surgery Center Lyndhurst, N.J. aeller@coresurgerycenter.com
