Maintenance and Testing
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 page 32 for error messages and what to do
about them.)
If you drop the meter or think it’s not giving accurate readings, make
sure that your test strips and control solution haven’t expired, then run
a control test (see page 16).
To make sure the display is working properly, turn off the meter, then
press and hold to see the complete display. All the sections should be
clear and look exactly like the picture to the left. If not, call Accu-Chek
Customer Care at 1-800-858-8072.
Cleaning Your Lancet Device
To clean the Accu-Chek Softclix Lancet Device, use a mild dishwashing liquid and a soft cloth. DO NOT
place the entire device under water. At least once a week, disinfect the cap after cleaning by placing it
in 70% alcohol (isopropyl) for 10 minutes. Allow the cap to air-dry after disinfecting.
