When should you clean and disinfect your meter, and lancing
device?
We recommend that you clean and disinfect your meter and lancing
device once a week because you are the only person operating the
meter and components. If the meter is being operated by a second
person who is providing testing assistance to the user, the meter
and lancing device should be cleaned and disinfected prior to use
by the second person. The disinfection instructions in this chapter
were validated for 260 cleaning and disinfection cycles, for a total
of 520 wipes (260 cleaning wipes plus 260 disinfecting wipes) on
the lancing device and MyStar Extra® Meter. The life of the MyStar
Extra® Meter, de ned as 5,000 test strip insertions, is between 3 to 5
years, depending on use. The number of cleaning and disinfecting
wipes used simulates cleaning and disinfecting your meter once a
week for 5 years.
What can you use to clean and disinfect your meter and lancing
device?
See the table below for the suggested disinfecting wipe. You should
use wipes that are pre-saturated with disinfectant. Do not immerse
your meter or the body of the lancing device in any liquid solution.
