Questions and answers
I **** interested in your recommendation of cleaning products and disinfecting types. Currently we are using a wipe with 70% alcohol the a cavi wipe afterwards. We have had trouble with our glucometer shutting down, possibly from too much moisture. Also we start an IV and I would like to take the dot of blood from the IV angio- would this be acceptable with this glucometer? Thank you
The recommended cleaning and disinfecting method for the McKesson PRO glucometer involves using wipes that have been tested for up to 10,950 cleaning and disinfecting cycles, equal to 10 cleanings per day over 3 years. This ensures the meter's proper function without moisture issues when done according to guidelines. Healthcare professionals must wear gloves while cleaning and disinfecting.
It is not acceptable to take a blood sample from an IV angio with this glucometer. The meter is validated for fresh capillary whole blood from the finger and forearm, and venous blood drawn in sodium heparin tubes—not from IV lines.
