Cleaning And Disinfection - iHealth BG5 Owner's Manual

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION

Cleaning and disinfection is a necessary and important part of the
test procedure. It can help to prevent infection, the potential
spread of infection, and cross-contamination. Cleaning can also
ensure that the meter works properly and that the display is clear
and readable.
The meter and lancing device should be cleaned and disinfected
following each use. We suggest that you use CaviWipes™ (Metrex®
Research Corporation, EPA Reg. No. 46781-8, EPA Est.
No. 56952-WI-001). CaviWipes, with isopropanol and diisobutyl-
phenoxy-ethoxyethyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride as the
active ingredient, have been shown to be safe for use with the
meter and lancing device.

individual tests—and consequently 10,000 cleanings over their 5
year life spans.

1. After a test, clean and wash your hands.
