To ensure effective disinfection, let the solution sit on the meter, housing,
orange lancet cover, and white cartridge cover for at least two (2) minutes.
Allow the meter, housing, orange lancet cover, white cartridge cover and
cartridge cap to completely dry before use. Wipe off any remaining residues
with a clean, soft, and dry paper cloth.
Your Dario System has an expected life of three (3) years. It should withstand
the cleaning and disinfection recommended (156 cycles) in this user guide.
It is recommended that you clean and disinfect the entire system as least once
per week and whenever you notice blood, dirt, or visible residue.
If you notice changes in appearance (such as color fading, cracking,
discoloration or display malfunctions) or you are obtaining results that are not
accurate, stop using the meter or lancing device and call customer support toll-
free in the U.S. at 1-800-895-5921, 9:00 AM-5:00 PM EST Monday through
Friday. Please contact your health care provider for questions outside of the
customer support hours.
The cleaning and disinfection performance testing on the Dario System was
