Disinfecting the meter
NOTE: The meter should be cleaned prior to each
disinfection step.
Remember to keep the meter on a level surface prior to
disinfecting and powered off. Be certain that solutions
contain acceptable active ingredients for disinfecting
the system. When 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 before
disinfecting the surface of the meter.
1 Use a fresh Clorox Germicidal Wipe or Super
Sani-Cloth Germicidal Disposable Wipe to disinfect
by gently wiping the outside of the meter three
times horizontally and three times vertically and
carefully wipe around the test strip port area,
making sure that no liquid enters the test strip port.
2 Allow the surface of the meter to remain damp with
the recommended disinfecting solution. The
recommended contact times are as follows:
Clorox Germicidal Wipes, a 1-minute contact time,
and Super Sani-Cloth Germicidal Disposable Wipe,
a 2-minute contact time.
NOTE: Meter surface should stay moist for the
entire contact time.
3 Dry the meter thoroughly with a dry cloth or gauze.
Visually verify that no solution is seen anywhere
on the meter at the completion of cleaning and dis-
infecting. Ensure that the meter is thoroughly
dried after cleaning (see safety message “Avoid
getting liquid into the test strip port!” and NOTICE
in this section).
4 If further testing is not needed, return the meter to
the base unit to charge the battery.
