Blood glucose testing in a multi-patient setting
10
When to disinfect
Each time after you have tested a patient’s blood glucose:
wipe the area around the test strip guide.
If you find blood on the cloth, wipe also the test strip guide itself and
the measuring window.
If there is blood on the meter:
wipe the meter.
If blood has entered the meter:
wipe the area around the test strip guide, the lower edge of the
drum compartment cover and the measuring window.
Allow areas you have wiped time to dry thoroughly.
The meter, test strip guide and measuring window must be thoroughly
cleaned and disinfected at least once a day after use. Carefully check all
recesses, grooves and gaps, as well as the blanking plate.
