Subject: Community Glucometers
Good Afternoon All
I was wondering if you could let me know/are aware of any glucometers that are suitable for use in the community (multi-patient use) by community nurses please?
Last year all community teams in the surrounding area became Trust staff and as such come under my POCT remit. The glucometers that they currently use (One Touch, Verio Pro+) have recently become unavailable on the UK market and so the community teams require a replacement (I have no meters for new staff or if a meter breaks). I am currently looking into the unconnected Nova meter, as we use the connected meters within the hospital (there is no way connected meters would work in the community, as we are talking about 8 separate sites, that don't even have access to the Trust intranet currently)! But would like to know if there are alternatives out there.
I know my sitaution may be slightly strange, as I think for the most part community teams come under a separate entity, but any information on suitable glucometers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! And have a good weekend.
Emma
