Caring for Your Meter
To avoid the meter and test strips attracting dirt, dust or other
contaminants, please wash and dry your hands thoroughly before
and after the measurement.
Why the cleaning and disinfection should be performed?
Cleaning and disinfection are different. Cleaning is the process of
removing dirt (e.g. food debris, grease, dust), while disinfection is the
process of killing germs (e.g. bacteria and viruses).
When to clean and disinfect the meter?
Clean the meter when you see any dirt on it. You should disinfect the
meter at least once a week to prevent infection.
How to clean and disinfect the meter?
The meter must be cleaned prior to the disinfection. Use one
disinfecting wipe to clean exposed surfaces of the meter thoroughly
and remove any visible dirt or blood or any other body fluid with the
wipe. Use a second wipe to disinfect the meter.
Do NOT use
organic solvents to clean the meter .
