System is for one person use ONLY. DO NOT share
your meter or lancing device with anyone, including
family members. Do not use on multiple patients!!
• ALL parts of your blood glucose monitoring system
could carry blood-borne pathogens after use, even
after cleaning and disinfecting.
• Cleaning and disinfecting the lancing device and the
meter destroys most, but not necessarily all, blood-
borne pathogens.
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm
water before and after handling the meter, lancing
device, lancets, or test strips as contact with blood
presents an infection risk.
• If the meter is being operated by a second person who
provides testing assistance, the meter and lancing
device should be cleaned and disinfected prior to use
by the second person.
• It is important to keep the meter and the lancing
device clean and disinfected. For instructions on how
to clean and disinfect the meter and lancing device,
