Cleaning and disinfecting of your lancing device should be done with the Caltech
DISPATCH Cleaner/Disinfectant with Bleach Pre-moistened Towels when it appears
dirty or contaminated with blood. The lancing device should be cleaned and
disinfected daily. The Telcare Lancing Device has been validated for 1,825 cleaning
and disinfection cycles, which corresponds to daily cleaning over a five year lifetime.
Please obtain a new lancing device after five years of daily cleaning or if signs of
deterioration are seen. Please follow this cleaning method:
1. Dispense the DISPATCH towel from its
package or container.
2. Clean the outside of the lancing
device and the inside and outside of the
cap to remove any blood or dirt.
3. Discard used towel in a sealed
container where it will not be touched
