Cleaning and Disinfecting your Element™ Plus system
Why should cleaning and disinfecting the meter and the reusable
lancing device be performed?
Blood glucose meters and reusable lancing devices are at the high risk of
becoming contaminated with blood born pathogens such as Hepatitis B
Virus(HBV), Hepatitis C Virus(HCV), and Human Immnodeficiency Virus
(HIV). Transmission of these viruses from resident to resident has been
documented due to contaminated blood glucose devices. According to the
Centers for Disease Control and Presentation, Cleaning and disinfection
of meters and between resident use can prevent the transmission of these
virus through indirect contact.
The cleaning is to remove soil and dirt from the surface of the devices
while the disinfecting is to kill the blood borne pathogens and virus stated
above.
