The FDA recommends that Point of Care testing devices,
such as blood glucose meters, should be used only on
one patient and not shared. If dedicating blood glucose
meters to a single patient is not possible, the meters must
be properly cleaned and disinfected after every use
following the guidelines given in this section.
