Note: Do not use bleach or alcohol to clean the Meter Sensor Area.
This will cause damage to the meter.
Disinfection Process
The disinfection process should be performed before each test to prevent
potential infectious disease transmissions through bloodborne pathogens.
Cleaning Before Disinfection and How to Disinfect
Cleaning and disinfection is a two-step process. To clean the meter, use a
disposable, germicidal towelette/wipe that contains Isopropyl alcohol as its
active ingredient and meets local government agency guidelines. First,
remove all stains/debris with the towelette/wipe. Then disinfect the meter by
using another isopropyl alcohol wipe to wipe down the entire surface of the
meter.
Be sure to wet the entire outer meter surface thoroughly. The outer meter
surface must remain visibly wet for one full minute. After wiping, allow the
meter to air dry completely before using the meter again.
Note: Avoid inserting the towelette/wipe into the inside of the Code
Chip Slot and the USB Port when performing cleaning before
and during disinfection.
Disinfection Frequency
The meter disinfection process should be performed throughout the entire life
of the meter. Check normal meter electronic operations regularly. Do this by
ensuring the LCD display shows all segments once the meter is turned on
before testing.
