Disinfection Process
Reason to Disinfect
The disinfection process is to prevent potential spreading of infectious
diseases through blood borne pathogens. It is important to remove any
stains/debris for a more effective disinfection of the meter.
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling the meter
and test strips.
Disinfection and Pre-Cleaning before the Disinfection Process
First use DisCide Ultra Disinfecting wipes (EPA Registration No. 10492-4) to
wipe clean the entire meter surface and remove any stains/debris. This
pre-cleaning is to prepare the meter surface for a disinfection process.
Next use another fresh DisCide Ultra Disinfecting wipe to wipe the entire
meter surface. Make sure the meter surface is thoroughly damp. The
meter surface must remain visibly wet for one full minute to effectively
disinfect. After disinfection, please allow the meter to air dry completely
before using it again. When disinfecting, avoid inserting the DisCide Ultra
Disinfecting wipe into the communication ports and the power supply input
port.
When cleaning the optical window area, the meter may turn on when the
electrodes are wet. After cleaning, the meter may be turned off or it will
turn off automatically after two minutes.
