Guide to cleaning and
disinfecting the Accu-Chek
Inform II system
Prior to cleaning and disinfecting a blood glucose testing
equipment:
1 Follow the infection control procedures of your
institution when handling blood glucose testing
equipment
2 Wear gloves
3 The gloves worn during cleaning and disinfecting
should be removed and hands washed thoroughly
with soap and water before performing the next
patient test
Cleaning and disinfecting the
meter
■ Clean the meter to remove visible soil and organic
material prior to disinfecting.

■ Disinfect the meter to destroy pathogenic and other
types of microorganisms. Disinfection destroys
most recognized pathogenic microorganisms but
not necessarily all microbial forms (e.g., bacterial
spores).

between each patient use.
