Cleaning after contamination due to mispipetting
Observe the following precautions to prevent instrument damage
■ Do not move the meter to prevent liquids from creeping and penetrating the meter.
■ Dab away all visible blood (also on the test strip, but not in the application area).
■ Do not use the meter before the liquid/moisture has been completely removed. While it
is drying, the meter must not be moved as this may soil the optical components.
For detailed cleaning instructions for the individual components of the meter, see the following
pages. The instructions below describe only the sequence of steps to be taken in case of mispi-
petting.
■ With the meter powered off, remove the test strip guide cover.
■ Remove and dispose of the test strip.
■ Clean the soiled parts of the meter with a moistened cotton swab/bud or tissue.
■ Disinfect the meter.
