The parts which contact blood are all single use disposable. So cleaning is only needed for dust buildup etc. Maybe once a year if you get an error message on the meter.Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose. If blood glucose meters are dedicated for single-patient use, do they need routine cleaning and disinfection?
If so, how often?
I still remember the days when you had to routinely do it, as you had to wipe the blood from the strip and then insert that end into the machine for it to read the result. I'm old.cant say I've ever cleaned a bg meter - never thought about it.

Yes, that's the one!Me too, the meter, if I'm not mistaken was the Reflolux S, took 2 mins to take a bg reading, you had to leave the blood on the strip for 1 min then wipe off and leave for a further min to get a reading.
These strips were good as you could cut them in two, if you just used the colour chart on the strip container you could cut the into three, made a tub of 50 go a long way.

Yes, that's the one!
