Caring for Your Meter
To avoid the meter and test strips attracting dirt, dust or other con-
taminants, please wash and dry your hands thoroughly before use.
► Why the cleaning and disinfection should be performed
Cleaning and disinfection are different. Cleaning is the process of re-
moving 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 sho
uld 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 disin-
fecting wipe to clean exposed surfaces of the meter thoroughly and
remove any visible dirt or blood or any other body fluid 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 disin
fection you should use the
disinfecting wipes/towelettes from below. The following product with
isopropyl alcohol as the active ingredient has been shown to be safe
for use with the ForaCare GD40 Blood Glucose Monitoring System.
