Meter and Lancing Device Cleaning and Disinfecting

What is the difference between cleaning and disinfecting?

Cleaning is the removal of dirt from the meter or lancing device.
Disinfecting is the removal of most, but not all, disease-causing and other types of microorganisms
(bloodborne pathogens) from the meter or lancing device.
