What is the difference between cleaning and disinfecting?
Cleaning is the removal of dirt from the meter
or lancing device.
Disinfecting is the removal of most, but not
all, disease-causing and other types of micro-
organisms (bloodborne pathogens) from the
meter or lancing device.
When should the meter and the lancing device be cleaned and disinfected?
• Clean and disinfect the meter and/or the
lancing device to remove visible dirt or
other material on a regular basis.
• Clean and disinfect the meter and/or the
lancing device always when there is blood
on it.
• Clean and disinfect the meter and/or the
lancing device before allowing anyone else
to handle the meter and/or the lancing
device, for instance, if you have someone
assisting you. Do not allow anyone else to
use the lancing device.
