Caring for Your Meter 
Maintenance
Keep your meter and test strip free of dust, water or any other liquid. Store the meter in the carrying 
case when not in use. If your meter is dropped or damaged, perform a quality control test with the 
control solution before performing a blood glucose test.
Cleaning Meter
Clean the outside of the meter with a damp cloth and mild soap/detergent. Do not get the test strip port 
wet.
Cleaning Test Strip Port
If your test strip port is stained with blood, control solution or any liquid, please use a dry tissue or 
alcohol swab to clean it immediately. Do not use anything wet to clean it. Perform a quality control test 
to ensure the 
Blood Glucose Meter is working properly.

Cleaning and Disinfecting Procedures
Indirect transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C 
Virus (HCV) during the delivery of healthcare services has been increasingly reported. Persons using 
blood glucose monitoring systems have been identified as one risk group due to the shared use of 
fingerstick (lancing) devices and point of care blood testing devices. 
The cleaning procedure is to remove dust, blood and body fluid from the surface and should be 
performed whenever the meter or lancing device is visibly dirty. Performing the cleaning procedure 
once per week is recommended. The disinfecting procedure is necessary to kill pathogens such as HIV, 
HBV and HCV on the device. This procedure should be performed periodically; once per week is 
recommended. 
If the meter is being operated by a second person who is providing testing assistance to the user, the 
meter and lancing device should be decontaminated prior to use by the second person. NOTE: the  
cleaning procedure can only remove visible contaminates  from surfaces. Only the disinfecting 
procedure can eliminate non-visible pathogens. 
The meter and lancing device should be cleaned before being disinfected.
DisCide® ULTRA DISINFECTING TOWELETTES may be used to clean and disinfect the meter and lancing 
device. Users may purchase the disinfecting wipes from the manufacturer (Palmero Health Care), 
distributors or major on line retail sites such as amazon.com. You can contact Palmero Health Care 
customer service at 1-800-344-6424 and customerservice@Palmerohealth.com.
