System Care; Meter Care, Cleaning And Disinfecting - Trividia True Metrix Air Owner's Booklet

System Care

• Store system (meter, control solution, test strips)
in carrying case to protect from liquids, dust and
dirt. Do not keep system in an area where it may be
crushed (i.e. back pocket, drawer, bottom of bag, etc.).
• Store in a dry place at room temperature (4°C - 30°C)
at 10%-80% relative humidity (Non-condensing).
DO NOT FREEZE.
• Allow system to sit at room
temperature for 10 minutes
before testing.
Meter Care, Cleaning/Disinfecting
Cleaning removes blood and soil from the meter.
Disinfecting removes most, but not all possible
infectious agents (bacteria or virus) from the meter,
including blood-borne pathogens.
• Clean immediately after getting any blood on the me-
ter or if meter is dirty. Repeat if needed until all meter
surfaces are visibly clean.
• Clean and disinfect the meter before allowing anyone
else to handle it.
• Clean and disinfect meter at least once a week. Meter may
be cleaned and disinfected once a week for up to 5 years.
• If the meter is being operated by a second person who
provides testing assistance, the meter and lancing de-
vice should be cleaned and disinfected prior to use by
the second person.
• Do not clean the meter during a test.
• Cleaning (step #2) must occur before disinfecting
(steps #3 and #4).
