Blood glucose meters are at high risk of becoming contaminated with
blood-borne pathogens such as Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus
(HCV), and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Transmission of these
viruses from resident to resident has been documented due to
contaminated blood glucose devices. Accordingly, cleaning and
disinfecting of meters between resident uses can prevent the transmission of
these viruses through indirect contact.
