Cleaning the meter
1 Place the meter on a level surface prior to cleaning.
2 Power off the meter.
Be certain that solutions contain acceptable active ingre-
dients for cleaning the system. When using commercially
available pre-moistened cleaning cloths, squeeze off
excess cleaning solution or blot on a dry paper towel
to remove any excess cleaning solution before cleaning
the surface of the meter.
3 Use a Clorox Germicidal Wipe or Super Sani-Cloth
Germicidal Disposable Wipe to clean by gently
wiping the outside of the meter and carefully wipe
around the test strip port area, making sure that no
liquid enters the test strip port and then wipe dry
with a tissue.
4 Dry the meter thoroughly with a dry cloth or gauze.
Visually verify that no solution is seen anywhere
on the meter at the completion of cleaning and dis-
infecting. Ensure that the meter is thoroughly
dried after cleaning (see safety message “Avoid
getting liquid into the test strip port!” and NOTICE
in this section).
