Caring for Your System
To minimize the risk of transmission of blood-borne pathogens,
•
the pre-cleaning and disinfection procedure should be
performed as recommended in the instructions below.
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after
•
handling the meter, lancing device, or test strips.
If the meter is being operated by a second person who is
•
providing testing assistance to the user, the meter and lancing
device should be disinfected prior to use by the second
person.
Pre-cleaning and Disinfection
Pre-cleaning procedure is needed to clean dirt as well as blood
and other body fluids on the exterior of the meter and lancing
device before performing the disinfection procedure.
The disinfection procedure is needed to prevent transmission of
blood-borne pathogens.
For the meter and lancing device, this pre-cleaning and
•
disinfection procedure should be performed once per week.
Note
The life span of a KetoSens meter is 5 years. We recommend
cleaning and disinfecting both the meter and lancing device at
least once per week. We have validated a total of 260 cleaning
and disinfecting cycles (260 Cleaning and 260 disinfection
cycles) to represent weekly cleaning and disinfecting over the
use life of your meter and lancing device.
1 pre-cleaning and 1 disinfection cycles per week * 52 weeks
per year * 5 years = 260 pre-cleaning and 260 disinfection cycles
