infectious agents (bacteria or virus) from the meter,
including blood-borne pathogens.
• Clean and disinfect immediately after getting any
blood on the meter or if meter is dirty.
• Meter should be cleaned and disinfected between
patients.
• Clean and disinfect the meter before allowing anyone
else to handle them.

Healthcare Professionals should wear gloves
