surface.
Disinfecting is the removal of most, but not all,
diseasecausing and other types of microorganisms
(blood‑borne pathogens) from the meter.

be cleaned and
disinfected

soiled.
¾
The exterior of the meter and the test strip guide
should be cleaned and disinfected before being
used on another patient.

Maintenance cleaning: The use of the disinfecting
cloths may lead to a build‑up of residue on the test
strip guide and battery compartment that needs to
be removed. Frequency: whenever residue
build‑up is visible or at least once per month.
