CEGA Air Ambulance recently upgraded its blood glucose monitoring system to use the advanced Accu-Chek Inform II test strips from Roche.
Ensuring accurate and reliable results across a wide range of glucose levels, these easy-to-use blood glucose test strips provide the performance criteria necessary for monitoring critically ill patients prior to, during and after emergency flight transfers.
“We require a reliable, easy-to-use, professional tool for blood glucose measurement,” commented CEGA senior flight nurse Stuart Cox. “After reviewing all the kits available on the market, we felt that the Roche Accu-Chek Inform II test strips best met our requirements for high-quality patient care in the air ambulance environment. The user interface is very simple and straightforward to use anywhere and by any of our trained staff. In addition, the strips have a very good range compared to other systems, giving accurate results at high and low glucose levels, which is essential for patient safety.
“The Accu-Chek Inform II strips mirror our needs for air ambulance work,” concluded Stuart. “They are well researched, with evidence-based performance. We also value the after-sales and technical support we have received from Roche, which has been invaluable in the training of our staff.”
