5. CLEANING AND DISINFECTING
THE microINR® METER
Cleaning and disinfection of the microINR Meter is essential to
ensure proper microINR system operation and to prevent
blood-borne transmission of pathogens in multi-patient tests.
Clean the Meter when it is visibly dirty and before disinfecting.
Use a new pair of gloves every time you clean and disinfect
the Meter.
Before cleaning or disinfecting the Meter, turn it off and make
sure the cables are unplugged.
To clean the Meter:
• Clean the Meter with a clean gauze or wipe moistened with
isopropyl alcohol 70% until there is no visible dirt.
• Ensure there are no remaining fibres or lint on any part of
the Meter, especially on the Chip insertion area and the USB
port.
To disinfect the Meter:
• Disinfect all the parts of the Meter with a clean gauze or
wipe moistened with isopropyl alcohol 70%.
• Wait one minute for the alcohol to act.
• Thoroughly dry the Meter with a dry and clean lint-free cloth
or gauze.
• Afterwards, wait 15 minutes for the Meter to dry and ensure
it is completely dry before conducting a new test.
• Ensure there are no remaining fibres or lint on any part of
the Meter, especially on the Chip insertion area and the USB
port.
• Discard the used gauze, wipes and gloves.
Do not clean or disinfect the Meter while conducting
a test.
Do not use aerosols or any cleaning or disinfecting
agents other than a clean gauze or wipe moistened
with isopropyl alcohol 70%.
Verify that the gauze or wipe is just moist, not soaked.
Do not spray fluids on the Meter or submerge the Meter.
Make sure that no fluids enter the Meter or the Chip
insertion area.
The Chip insertion area must always be clean and
dry before conducting a test. When inserting a Chip,
remains of blood or alcohol can contaminate the sample.
Do not handle the Chips with alcohol-contaminated
hands/gloves.
Comply with all recommendations regarding cleaning
and disinfection of the Meter.
Not doing so could cause incorrect results.
