Disinfecting your meter, lancing device
and cap
The meter, lancing device and cap should be disinfected
periodically. Clean your meter, lancing device and cap
prior to disinfecting. For disinfecting, obtain regular
household bleach (containing a minimum of 5.5% sodium
hypochlorite as the active ingredient)*. Prepare a solution
of 1 part household bleach and 9 parts water.
*Follow manufacturer's instruction for handling and
storage of bleach.
Hold the meter with the test strip
port pointed down.
Use a soft cloth dampened with
this solution to wipe the outside
of the meter and lancing device
until the surface is damp. Be sure
to squeeze out any excess liquid
before you wipe the meter.
After wiping, cover the surface you
are disinfecting with the soft cloth
dampened with the bleach solution
for 1 minute.
