Caring for your system
Cleaning your meter, lancing device and
cap
The meter, lancing device and cap should be cleaned
whenever they are visibly dirty and before disinfection.
Clean your meter at least once per week. For cleaning
obtain regular strength liquid dish soap and a soft cloth.
Prepare a mild detergent solution by stirring 2.5mL of
regular strength liquid dish soap into 250mL of water.
• Do Not use alcohol or any other solvent.
• Do Not allow liquids, dirt, dust,
blood or control solution to
enter the test strip port or the
data port. (See page18.)
• Do Not spray cleaning solution
on the meter or immerse it in
any liquid.
