Before performing a blood glucose test, observe the following safety
precautions:
• All components that come into contact with blood samples should be considered to be
biohazardous and capable of transmitting viral diseases between patients and healthcare
professionals.
• Before testing each patient, a new pair of clean gloves should be worn by the user.
• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before putting on a new pair of gloves and
performing the next patient test.
• Use only an auto-disabling, single-use lancing device for each patient.
• After use on each patient, the meter should be cleaned and disinfected. Refer to the
Cleaning and Disinfection section in this manual.
