It would also need, once the questions are answered
- A voltage stabiliser
Answer these and the screening sharpens
- What supply frequency is the device rated for? The nameplate prints it in Hz, next to the voltage.
- What voltage range is the device rated for? A nameplate reading 100-240 V means it handles both grids.
- Is there a supplier for Accu-Chek Performa test strips (store 2-30 °C, use by printed date, opened or unopened), Accu-Chek Performa control solution (discard 3 months after opening), lancets for lancing device, CR2032 3 V lithium coin cell in Uganda?
- Can spare parts for Roche Diabetes Care Accu-Chek Performa be bought in Uganda?
- What year was the device made? The nameplate usually prints it next to the serial number.
- Does anything being sent carry an expiry date - sterile circuits, filters, reagents, batteries? If so, what is the earliest?
