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), disinfection is the pro-
cess 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 dis-
infecting wipe to clean exposed surfaces of the meter thoroughly
and remove any visible dirt, blood, or any other body fluid with the
wipe. Use a second wipe to disinfect the meter by following the dis-
infecting procedure below. Do NOT use organic solvents to clean
the meter.
