Cleaning And Disinfecting the Meter and Lancing Device
The cleaning and disinfection is absolutely necessary for the test procedure, because cleaning
can ensure the meter works well (for example, display will be clear to see after cleaning); and
disinfection will reduce the chance of spreading infection to others.

that you use CaviWipes™ (Metrex® Research Corporation, EPA Reg. No. 46781-8, EPA Est. No.
