The Dario LC Blood Glucose Monitoring System should be cleaned and

disinfected once a week. The Dario LC System should be properly maintained

for safe and accurate use. The meter should be properly cleaned and

disinfected to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

Cleaning and Disinfection

The outer surfaces should be cleaned when you notice that your Dario LC is

visibly dirty. It is advised to clean and disinfect your Dario LC System once a

week to avoid transmitting bloodborne pathogens.

If someone else is operating the meter to assist you with testing, he or she should

clean and disinfect the meter, housing, orange lancet cover and white cartridge

dirt and blood while disinfection kills the bloodborne pathogens. Before
