Objectives: Investigate the interference of Virox (R) disinfectant wipes containing hydrogen peroxide with Lifescan SureStep Flexx (R) glucose meter results.
Design and methods: Glucose measurements of control and whole blood samples were performed before and after cleaning with Virox (R) wipes to reveal the kinetics of this interference.
Results and conclusions: After a period where the error code 2(b) is given by the device, an overestimation period of glucose results is always present at all levels tested for a duration of hours. As this interference cannot be detected by the operator, hydrogen peroxide containing wipes for sanitizing of the glucose oxidase based glucose meter must be forbidden.
