Care And Maintenance:
Storing Your System:
Store your meter, test strips, control solution and other items in your carrying case. Keep in a cool, dry place between 41°F and 86°F. Keep all items away from direct sunlight and heat.
Cleaning And Disinfection:
Cleaning and disinfection are different. Both should be performed at least once per week. Cleaning is part of your normal care and maintenance, but does not kill germs. You should clean your meter, lancing device and cap before disinfecting. After use and exposure to blood, all parts of this kit may transmit infectious diseases. Disinfection is the only way to reduce your exposure to disease.
For cleaning and disinfecting, Clorox Germicidal Wipes* containing 0.55% sodium hypochlorite as the active ingredient have been shown to be safe for use with the OneTouch Verio® System and can be obtained from retail websites offering disinfection products, e.g., www.officedepot.com or www.officemax.com .
*Other products, such as Clorox Disinfecting Wipes, have not been tested and should not be used. Only Clorox Germicidal Wipes should be used. Follow manufacturer’s instruction for handling and storage of wipes. Clorox is a registered trademark of the Clorox Company.
IMPORTANT: If another person assists you with testing, the meter, lancing device and cap should always be cleaned and then disinfected prior to use by that person.
