Caring For Your Meter - Fora V12 Owner's Manual

Caring for Your Meter

To avoid the meter and test strips attracting dirt, dust or other contaminants,
please wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after use.
Why the cleaning and disinfection should be performed
Cleaning and disinfection are different. Cleaning is the process of remov-
ing 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.
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.
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 using the disinfecting wipes/towelettes below for meter
cleaning and disinfection because the active ingredients have been tested
to be effective against Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) for
blood glucose monitoring system.
