Cleaning and Disinfection
Cleaning is the physical removal of organic soil from the meter and lancing device surfaces.
Keeping the meter and lancing device clean helps ensure that they are working properly and that
no dirt gets in the devices. Cleaning allows for successful, subsequent disinfection.
Disinfection is a process that destroys pathogens, such as viruses and other microorganisms, on the
meter and lancing device surfaces. Disinfecting the meter and lancing device helps ensure that no
infection is passed on when you or others come in contact with the meter and lancing device. The
meter and lancing device should be cleaned with a separate bleach wipe prior to each disinfection.
Clean and disinfect your meter at least once a week. Clean and disinfect your lancing device when
visibly dirty (at least once a week).
Note: Squeeze bleach wipe to remove excess solution before wiping the meter or lancing device.
