Lancing Device Cleaning and Disinfecting

Cleaning removes blood and soil from the lancing device.
Disinfecting removes most, but not all possible
infectious agents (bacteria or virus) from the
lancing device, including blood-borne pathogens.
• Clean and disinfect immediately after getting any blood
on the lancing device or if lancing device is dirty.
• Clean and disinfect the lancing device at least once a
week. Lancing device may be cleaned and disinfected
once a day for a 3 year period.
• If the lancing device is being operated by a second per-
son who provides testing assistance, the lancing device
should be cleaned and disinfected prior to use by the
second person.
• Do not clean lancing device if there is a lancet inside.
Remove lancet from lancing device before cleaning.
• Cleaning (step #2) must occur before disinfecting steps
(#3 and #4).
To clean and disinfect the lancing device:
1. Wash hands thoroughly with soap
and water.
2. To Clean: With ONLY Super Sani-
Cloth Wipes (EPA* reg. no. 9480-4),
