It can help to prevent infection, the potential spread of infection, and cross-
contamination. The cleaning and disinfection is absolutely necessary for the test
procedure, because cleaning can ensure the meter works well (for example, the
display will be clear to see after cleaning).
Disinfection can avoid the infection to you or to the other people, and the cross-
infection. Cleaning removes dirt and debris but does not eliminate bacteria or virus,
while disinfection is to eliminate bacteria or virus on the meter.
Clean and disinfect the meter and lancing device each time before the
measurement.
Cleaning is to wipe the whole surface of the meter for 10 seconds, until there is no
soil on the surface.
Disinfection is to wipe the whole surface of the meter with a gentle disinfecting
solution for 2 min, and keep the surface wet during the 2min.
The iHealth Wireless Smart Glucose Meter and the iHealth lancing device should
be cleaned and disinfected at a minimum of once per week.
The iHealth Wireless Smart Glucose Meter and the iHealth lancing device are
validated to support 10,000 individual tests—and consequently 10,000 cleanings
over their 5 years life spans. The meter and the lancing device are for single-patient
use. If the user tests 6 times every day, the meter and lancing device should be
cleaned and disinfected 6 times per day which equals 10950 cycles over the 5 year
life of the devices. The meter and lancing device were validated for 11,000 cycles
which could support up to 6 cleaning and disinfection cycles per day.
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
use by the second person.
Find below, how to clean the meter and lancing device.
1. After a test, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling the
meter, lancing device, or test strips.
2. Use the clean wipe to carefully clean the meter, front and back.
3. Then, disinfect the meter with another wipe and allow the surface to dry naturally:
the meter should remain wet for 2 minutes.
4. Use the same method with the clean wipes to clean and disinfect the lancing
device.
Note:
1 You should always perform a cle aning step prior the a disinfectio n
step. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling the meter, lancing
device, or test strips.
2 Only the surface of the mete r can be cleaned and disinfected with
the disinfecting wipe. Do not insert the disinfecting wipe into the test strip port.
3 Avoid getting moistur e inside the meter through the strip port at all
