IMPORTANT NOTE
About Cleaning and Disinfection
In February 2019, Roche Diagnostics released Analyzer Bulletins (TP-00244, TP-00245, TP-00408,
TP-00409) removing 10% bleach as an approved method of cleaning and disinfecting for CoaguChek
XS meters. Subsequently, after receiving customer feedback regarding the value of using 10% bleach,
we are amending the direction provided in the bulletins referenced above. Should you choose to use
10% bleach solution (1 part bleach and 9 parts water) as a cleaning/disinfecting agent, please be
aware that after approx. 400 wipes this may reduce the meter life expectancy, resulting in meter error.
Please refer to the CoaguChek XS System User Manual for instructions on how to clean and disinfect
the meter. This has no impact on our policies in regards to meter warranty or replacement.
Should you experience meter error, call Roche Diagnostics Technical Service Center at
1-800-428-4674, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
