Disinfection
Select new bleach wipe (disinfectant towels containing 0.55% Sodium
Hypochlorite (NaOCI) have been found to be effective) and remove excess liquid
from the wipe. Wipe the outer surfaces of the meter with the wipe. Avoid getting
bleach solution in test strip port, USB port or battery compartment as this may
damage the meter. Surfaces must remain wet for a full one (1) minute. Disinfect
your meter at least once a week.
