How-To Guide

GlucoSure Link Blood Glucose Monitoring System

5. To disinfect the GlucoSure Link Blood Glucose meter or lancing device, dispense a

second towel (DISPATCH) from its package. Wipe surface with towel (DISPATCH)

until completely wet. You must wipe all external areas of the meter including both

front and back surfaces and allow 1 minute contact at room temperature. Wipe dry

or allow to air dry. Oily substances must be removed prior to disinfection. Discard

used towel in a sealed container where it will not be touched by others.

6. Wash hands with soap and water.

NOTE:

• If the meter or lancing device is being operated by a second person who is

providing testing assistance to the user, the meter or lancing device should be

cleaned and disinfected prior to use by the second person. Avoid alcohol and

ammonia. Even though these two ingredients are excellent disinfectants, they are

not safe for your meter or lancet device. Alcohol damages the LED read out and

ammonia corrodes the metal parts.

• The lancing device is for patient self-monitoring by a single person only. It must not

be used to collect blood from more than one person as this poses an infection risk.
