Cleaning the meter8
You may need to clean the meter if it becomes dirty
through improper use.
Healthcare professionals using the meter to
test several patients’ blood glucose must also
read the instructions on disinfection in Chapter
10.2.
Use only cold water or 70 % ethanol to clean
the meter. Any other cleaning agents may
damage the meter or impair its measuring
function.
Use a lightly moistened cloth or a lightly
moistened cotton swab. Do not spray anything
onto the meter and do not immerse it in the
cleaning liquid. Internal components could
become damaged and thus impair the proper
functioning of the meter.
