What is Cleaning and Disinfection?
Cleaning and disinfection are different. Cleaning is the process of
removing dirt (e.g. food debris, grease, dust), disinfection is the process
of killing germs (e.g. bacteria and viruses).
When to clean and disinfect the meter?
Clean the meter when you see any dirt on it. Disinfect the meter
between each patient to prevent infection.
How to clean and disinfect the meter?
The meter must be cleaned prior to the disinfection. Use one
disinfecting wipe to clean exposed surfaces of the meter thoroughly and
remove any visible dirt or blood or any other body fluid with the wipe.
Use a second wipe to disinfect the meter. Do NOT use organic solvents
to clean the meter.
We recommend for meter cleaning and disinfection you should use the
