Chapter 1: Your New Meter 61
Chapter 5: Maintenance and Troubleshooting
61
Your meter needs little or no maintenance with normal use. It
automatically tests its own systems every time you turn it on and lets
you know if something is wrong. (See Chapter 5 on “Screen
Messages” and what to do about them.)
If you drop the meter or think it’s not giving accurate results, make
sure that your test strips and control solution haven't expired, then run
a control test.
To make sure the display is working properly, turn off the meter, then
press and hold to see the complete display. All the segments
should be clear and look exactly like the picture to the left. If not, call
the ACCU-CHEK Customer Care Service Center at 1-800-858-8072.
Cleaning Your Lancet Device
To clean the ACCU-CHEK Multiclix lancet device, use a mild dishwashing liquid and a soft cloth. DO NOT
place the entire device under water. DO NOT use bleach. At least once a week, disinfect the cap after
cleaning by placing it in 70% rubbing alcohol for 10 minutes. Allow the cap to air-dry after disinfecting.
