Glucose QC Question

Does anyone require QC for glucose strips when a new canister is opened during the day?
We have the 24 hour requirement, and we ask that if a new canister of strips is opened throughout the day, it must have QC run before the strips are used for patients.

I believe this is in our SOP as well but that is very difficult to track. Inspectors will look at your SOP and may ask that. You should check what the manufacturer says about this and discuss with your lab director if the manufacturer is more lenient then you can also.
We do have new glucose strip cannisters QC'd before being used for patient testing, in addition to running QC every 24 hours.
