Cleaning and Disinfecting the Meter
This section describes two cleaning and disinfecting pro-
cedures. Please follow the procedure that adheres to local
regulations.
WARNING: Cleaning is not the same as disin-
fecting. Cleaning means to remove protein or
other contaminants from the surface. Disin-
fecting means to kill or prevent the growth of disease-
carrying micro organisms. The Nova Lactate Plus Meter
should be cleaned and disinfected after each patient use
over the intended 3 year use-life of the Meter.
