Caring for your system
Disinfecting your meter, lancing device
and cap
The meter, lancing device and cap should be disinfected
periodically. Clean your meter, lancing device and cap
prior to disinfecting. For disinfecting, obtain regular
household bleach (containing a minimum of 5.5% sodium
hypochlorite as the active ingredient)*. Prepare a solution
of 1 part household bleach and 9 parts water.
*Follow manufacturer’s instruction for handling and
storage of bleach.
1. Hold the meter with the test strip port pointed down
Use a soft cloth dampened
with this solution to wipe
the outside of the meter and
lancing device until the surface
is damp. Be sure to squeeze out
any excess liquid before you
wipe the meter.
2. After wiping, cover the surface you are disinfecting
with the soft cloth dampened with the bleach solution
for 1 minute
Wash hands thoroughly with
soap and water after handling
the meter, lancing device and
cap.
