Daily inspection template for glucometer cleaning and quality control verification in accordance with CLIA and manufacturer requirements.

Device Identification and Readiness

• Glucometer identified by asset ID or serial number
  Record the device identifier for the glucometer being inspected.
• Device present, intact, and powered on
  Confirm the meter is available for use, with no visible damage and functional power status.
• Test strip lot and expiration verified
  Verify the current strip lot is within expiration and matches the approved product in use.
• Control solution lot and expiration verified
  Confirm control solution is within expiration and approved for the device.

Cleaning and Disinfection Verification
