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
Screen Messages and
Troubleshooting
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 drum 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 down to see the complete display. All the sections
should be clear and should 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 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 (ethyl alcohol) or 70% rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) for 10 minutes. Allow the cap to air-dry after
disinfecting.
