Disinfecting the meter
■ Remove the meter from the base unit prior to
disinfecting.
■ Lay the meter on a flat surface while wiping over
the test strip port area, making sure that no liquid
enters the strip port.
■ Wipe the meter thoroughly, while avoiding the test
strip port or you may spray it per the directions
mentioned below.
■ Do not disinfect the meter while performing a
patient or control test.
■ Be certain that solutions contain acceptable active
ingredients for disinfecting the system. If using
commercially available pre-moistened disinfecting
cloths, squeeze off excess disinfecting solution
or blot on a dry paper towel to remove any excess
disinfecting solution.
■ Allow the meter to air dry for the recommended
contact time according to the disinfecting solution
product labeling.
■ Dry the meter with a dry cloth or gauze and visually
verify that no solution is seen anywhere on the
meter at the completion of disinfecting. Ensure
that the meter is thoroughly dried after
disinfecting.
■ If spraying the meter, place it on a flat surface or
table. Wear gloves. Be aware that the meter may
become slippery when wet. Do not let the meter
drop! Do not spray while the meter is docked in the
base unit!
