Clinical Info

Specimen Type (All Patients including Newborns / Infants): Blood obtained by capillary, (finger-stick for adult and pediatric patients; heel-stick for newborns and infants less than six months of age, children between 6 and 12 months of age, the decision to use the finger instead of the heel must be based on the child’s weight) venous, and arterial blood are acceptable specimen types.
Capillary blood from alternate sites other than the finger (pediatric and adult) or heel (newborns and infants less than six months of age only) cannot be used for testing on the Accu-Chek Inform II Meter. If collection of capillary blood from the approved sample sites is not possible, venous samples collected in lithium heparin, sodium heparin or EDTA vacutainer tubes may be used for testing on the Accu-Chek Inform II Meter. Additionally, venous samples may be collected and sent for laboratory testing.
Cord blood is unacceptable.
