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), while 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 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 disinfection you should use the
disinfecting wipes/towelettes from below. The following product with
