Persons using blood glucose monitoring systems have been
identified as one risk group due to the shared use of fingerstick
(lancing) devices and point of care blood testing devices.
The cleaning procedure is to remove dust, blood and body fluid from
the surface and should be performed whenever the meter or lancing
device is visibly dirty. The disinfecting procedure is necessary to kill
pathogens such as HBV on the housing materials of the device. The
cleaning and disinfecting procedure should be performed at least
once per week. The meter and lancing device should be cleaned
before being disinfected.
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 cleaned and disinfected prior to use by the second person. NOTE:
the cleaning procedure can only remove visible contaminates from
surfaces. Only the disinfecting procedure can eliminate non-visible
pathogens.
CaviWipes Disinfecting Towelettes may be used to clean and
disinfect the meter and lancing device. Users may purchase the
disinfecting wipes from the manufacturer (Metrex), distributors or
major online retail sites such as www.amazon.com.
