Disinfection
Step 1 For disinfection, wipe all outside surfaces of the meter and lancing device thoroughly
with the bleach wipe until they are wet in order to disinfect the meter and lancing
device. Clean the strip port, data port and battery compartment with caution and do not
force liquids into sensitive meter electronic openings.
Step 2 Allow the meter and lancing device surfaces to remain wet for 60 seconds (1 full minute).
After 1 full minute, immediately dry with drying towel to remove any residual moisture.
Disinfect your meter at least once a week. Disinfect your lancing device when visibly
dirty (at least once a week).
Step 3 Allow the meter and lancing device to air dry completely before performing a blood
glucose test.
Step 4 When finished, thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water.
