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 re-
moving 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.
If the meter is being operated by a second person who is providing testing as-
sistance to the user, the meter and lancing device should be disinfected prior
to use by the second person.
How to clean and disinfect the meter
The meter must be cleaned prior to the disinfection. Use one disin-
fecting wipe to clean exposed surfaces of the meter thoroughly and
remove any visible dirt, blood or any other body fluid with the wipe.
Use a second wipe to disinfect the meter by following the disinfecting
procedure below. Do NOT use organic solvents to clean the meter.
We recommend using the disinfecting wipes/towelettes below for
meter cleaning and disinfection because the active ingredients have
been tested to be effective against Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) for FORA
V30 blood glucose monitoring system.
