Caring for the ReliOn™ Premier BLU System
• To minimize the risk of transmission of blood-borne pathogens,
the pre-cleaning and disinfection procedure should be
performed as recommended in the instructions below.
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after
handling the meter, lancing device, or test strips.
• If the meter is being operated by a second person who is
providing testing assistance to the user, the meter and lancing
device should be disinfected prior to use by the second person.

Pre-cleaning and Disinfection

The pre-cleaning procedure is needed to clean dirt as well as
blood and other body fluids on the exterior of the meter and
lancing device before performing the disinfection procedure.
The disinfection procedure is needed to prevent transmission of
blood-borne pathogens.
• For the meter and lancing device, this pre-cleaning and
disinfection procedure should be performed once per week.
NOTE
• The life span of a ReliOn™ Premier BLU Blood Glucose Meter
is 5 years. We recommend disinfecting both the meter and
lancing device at least once per week. We have validated
a total of 260 cleaning and disinfecting cycles (260 pre-
cleaning and 260 disinfection cycles) to represent weekly
cleaning and disinfecting over the use life of your meter and
lancing device.
• 1 pre-cleaning and 1 disinfection cycle per week
X 52 weeks per year X 5 years = 260 pre-cleaning and 260
disinfection cycles.
