Caring for the GLUCOCARD Shine Express System
• To minimize the risk of transmission of bloodborne pathogens,
the pre-cleaning and disinfection procedure should be
performed as recommended in the instructions below.
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after
handling the meter, lancing device or test strips.
• If the meter is being operated by a second person who is
providing testing assistance to the user, the meter and
lancing device should be disinfected prior to handling by
the second person.
Pre-cleaning and Disinfection
The pre-cleaning procedure is needed to clean dirt as well as
blood and other body fluids on the exterior of the meter and
lancing device before performing the disinfection procedure.
The disinfection procedure is needed to prevent transmission of
bloodborne pathogens.
• For the meter and lancing device, this pre-cleaning and
disinfection procedure should be performed
once a week.
NOTE
• The life span of a GLUCOCARD Shine Express meter is
5 years. We recommend disinfecting both the meter and
lancing device at least once a week. We have validated
a total of 260 cleaning and disinfecting cycles (260 pre-
cleaning and 260 disinfection cycles) to represent weekly
cleaning and disinfecting over the life of your meter and
lancing device.
• 1 pre-cleaning and 1 disinfection cycle per week X 52
weeks per year X 5 years = 260 pre-cleaning and 260
disinfection cycles.
