Disinfection removes and destroys microorganisms and pathogens from the
surface of the device. Disinfect the receiver and transmitter periodically or
whenever you suspect that blood or body fluid has come in contact with the
surface of the device. If a second person, such as a healthcare provider, is
helping you operate the receiver or transmitter, the device should be disinfected
before the second person uses it. You will need gloves, clean, dry absorbent
wipes, 70% isopropyl alcohol wipes and several disinfectant wipes containing
a 1:10 bleach solution (such as Alcavis Bleach Wipe 1:10 DIN 02333899,
or Clorox Professional Disinfecting Bleach Wipes DIN 02349272) or sodium
hypochlorite (household bleach) wipes.
