CLEANING AND DISINFECTING YOUR
METER

Caring for Your Meter

To avoid the meter and test strips attracting dirt, dust or other
contaminants, please wash and dry your hands thoroughly before use.
Why the cleaning and disinfection should be performed
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. You should disinfect the
meter at least once a week 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
disinfecting wipe/towelette from below. The following product has been
shown to be safe for use with the FORA G20 glucose meter.
