Disinfecting the meter
Follow the procedures described above for cleaning the meter, with the following differences:
Only use the disinfecting agents recommended on page 173.
1 Wipe the test strip guide cover, the out-
side of the meter and only the visible
area of the test strip guide three times
horizontally and three times vertically with
a lightly moistened tissue.
2 Wait for 2 minutes (disinfection time).
3 Dry the test strip guide cover and the
outside of the meter with a dry and fresh
tissue.
Adhere to the following:
■ Do not insert dry tissues into the test strip
guide.
■ Do not insert any objects into the con-
cealed areas of the test strip guide. That
would damage the optical components of
the meter.
4 Re-attach the test strip guide cover to the
housing.
CAUTION
Protection against instrument damage
To avoid instrument damage, always ensure that the test strip guide
cover is completely dry before reattaching it. Make sure that the cover is
properly attached. If so, you will hear it snap into place.
