Guidelines for Cleaning and Disinfecting the Assure® Prism multi Blood Glucose
Monitoring System (BGMS)
NOTE
• Do not get fluids inside the meter through the test strip port, data port or battery
compartment.
• Never immerse the meter or hold it under running water because it will damage the meter.
• Two disposable wipes will be needed for each cleaning and disinfecting procedure; one wipe
for cleaning and a second wipe for disinfecting.
Cleaning
Step 1:
Wear appropriate protective gear such as disposable gloves.
Step 2: Open the cap of the disinfectant container and pull
out 1 towelette and close the cap.
Step 3: Wipe the entire surface of the meter 3 times
horizontally and 3 times vertically using 1 towelette
to clean blood and other body fluids. Carefully wipe
around the test strip port by inverting the meter so
that the test strip port is facing down. This prevents
disinfectant liquid from entering the meter.
Step 4:
Properly dispose of the used towelette.
