Cleaning and Disinfecting
What is the diff erence between
cleaning and disinfecting?
Cleaning and disinfecting are not the
same thing. Cleaning simply removes
blood and dirt. Disinfecting kills germs
and provides an extra level of safety. In the
following procedure, the fi rst disinfectant
towel is used for cleaning, and the second
towel provides for disinfection.
You should disinfect areas where there
are both high concentrations of germs
and a possibility that they will be spread
to others. The Caltech DISPATCH Cleaner/
Disinfectant with Bleach Premoistened
Towels® have ingredients that clean and disinfect your device.
While surfaces may look clean, many infectious germs may be
lurking around. Some germs can live on surfaces for hours and
even for days! The disinfection process shown in the pages that
follow is eff ective in destroying dangerous Hepatitis B viruses.
If the device is being operated by a second person who is
providing testing assistance to the user, the meter should
be disinfected prior to assistance from the second person.
See Cleaning your Lancing Device section (pg. 52
) for
instructions on cleaning the lancing device included with your
kit. If using a diff erent lancing device, see your device's user
manual for decontamination/cleaning instructions.
