Caring For Your Meter - Fora MD Owner's Manual

Caring for Your Meter

To avoid the meter and test strips attracting dirt, dust or other
contaminants, please wash and dry your hands thoroughly before use.
► Why the cleaning and disinfection should be performed
Cleaning and disinfection are different. Cleaning is the process of
removing dirt (e.g. food debris, grease, dust), disinfection is the
process of killing germs (e.g. bacteria and viruses).
► When to clean and disinfect the meter
Clean the meter when you see any dirt on it. You should disinfect the
meter at least once a week to prevent infection.
► How to clean and disinfect the meter
The meter must be cleaned prior to the disinfection. Use one disinfecting
wipe to clean exposed surfaces of the meter thoroughly and remove
any visible dirt or blood or any other body fluid with the wipe. Use a
second wipe to disinfect the meter. Do NOT use organic solvents to
clean the meter.
We recommend for meter cleaning and disinfection you should use
the disinfecting wipes/towelettes from below. The following product
has been shown to be safe for use with the FORA MD Blood Glucose
Monitoring System.
