NOTE:
Do NOT clean and disinfect the meter while performing tests.
If the meter is being operated by a second person, the meter and lancing
device should be decontaminated prior to use by the second person.
Do NOT allow cleaning and disinfecting solution to get in the test slot.
If you do get moisture in the test strip slot, wipe it away with a corner of
tissue.
Always dry the meter thoroughly before using it.
Do not spray the meter directly with cleaning solutions especially those
containing water (i.e. soapy water), as this could cause the solution to enter
the case inside and damage the electronic components or circuitry.
For more information of how to perform disinfection procedures for the
meter between patients, please refer to:
