Nova Docking Station Cleaning/Disinfection

Hi all! We are trying to figure out how best to implement the updated IFUs stating that the docking station must be cleaned and disinfected every 3 days. It's a bit disappointing that we can't send an automated message to the device every three days. We are floating around using MTE or sending messages every 3 days for a set period of time. If you're using the Nova StatStrip glucometers, how are you planning on implementing this change at your facility?

I had not heard this. We are in the process of implementing the Gen 2 meters and the trainer for Nova was just here at the end of March and didn't mention.  How are you receiving this information?  I am caught off guard with all of this.  

NOVA is re-writing that bulletin on cleaning the docking stations.  I will attach the letter I received from them.
When I discussed this with Nursing they did not want a paper trail so we are going to make it a part of the procedure that the docking stations are cleaned daily after the controls are performed.  It will be expected that it is cleaned just like we expect them to wear gloves with each test they perform.

That is crazy to try to keep up with every third day.  

Thank you Leah for directing me to the newsletter!  It says effective immediately, but it is still in the online manual so i assume that it will be removed July 1??  Wonder when "immediately" begins.   Regardless, great news!
