Disinfecting Procedures
1. Put on non-sterile gloves.
2. Take out one disinfecting wipe from the package and squeeze out
any excess liquid in order to prevent damage to the meter.
3. Wipe all meter's exterior surface display and buttons. Hold the meter
with the test strip slot pointing down and wipe the area around the test
slot but be careful not to allow excess liquid to get inside. Keep the
meter surface wet with disinfection solution for a minimum of 2
minutes for Micro-Kill+™ wipes. Follow the instructions on the package
label of disinfecting wipe. Do not use the wipe to clean or disinfect the
pressure cuff.
4. Remove the wipe. Allow the meter surface to dry completely.
5. Discard the used wipes and never reuse them.
6. Remove and discard gloves in appropriate receptacles and wash
hands.
After disinfection, remove the used gloves and wash hands before
proceeding to the next patient.
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling the
blood glucose monitoring system, lancing device and test strips to avoid
contamination.
