Caring for Your Meter
To avoid the meter and test strips attracting dirt, dust or other
contaminants, please wash hands thoroughly with soap and water
before and after use.
Why the cleaning and disinfection should be performed
Cleaning and disinfection are different. Cleaning is the process of
removing dirt (e.g. food debris, grease, dust), disinfection is the
process of killing germs (e.g. bacteria and viruses).
When to clean and disinfect the meter
Clean the meter when you see any dirt on it. You should disinfect the
meter at least once a week to prevent infection.
How to clean and disinfect the meter
The meter must be cleaned prior to the disinfection. Use one
disinfecting wipe to clean exposed surfaces of the meter thoroughly
and remove any visible dirt or blood or any other body uid with the
wipe. Use a second wipe to disinfect the meter. Do NOT use organic
solvents to clean the meter.
We recommend for meter cleaning and disinfection you should use
the disinfecting wipe/towelette from below. The following product
with isopropyl alcohol as the active ingredient has been shown to be
safe for use with the CLEVER CHOICE Voice+ meter.
