Disinfecting Procedures

1. Put on non-sterile gloves.
2. Take out one disinfecting wipe from the
package and squeeze out any excess liquid in
order to prevent damage to the meter.
3. Wipe all meter's exterior surface display and
buttons. Hold the meter with the test strip slot
pointing down and wipe the area around the test
slot but be careful not to allow excess liquid
to get inside. Keep the meter surface wet with
disinfection solution for a minimum of 2 minutes
for Micro-Kill+™ wipes. Follow the instructions on
the package label of disinfecting wipes. Do not
use the wipe to clean or disinfect the pressure
cuff.
4. Remove the wipe. Allow the meter surface to
dry completely.
5. Discard the used wipes and never reuse them.
6. Remove and discard gloves in appropriate
receptacles and wash hands.
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and
water after handling the blood glucose monitoring
system, lancing device and test strips to avoid
contamination.
Each cleaning and disinfection cycle includes a
pre-cleaning step with one wipe and a disinfection
step with a second wipe. Improper system
cleaning and disinfection may result in meter
malfunction. If you have a question, please
contact customer service at 1-888-307-8188 for
assistance.
This device has been validated to withstand
10,000 cleaning and disinfection cycles using the
recommended disinfecting wipe/towelette.
The tested number of cycles is estimated by 5
cleaning and disinfection cycle per meter per
week for 3 years, the expected life of the device.
