8.4 Cleaning/disinfecting the exterior (meter housing)
Use the solutions recommended on page 151 for clean-
ing/disinfecting the meter exterior. Apply the solutions for
a contact time of > 1 minute (refer to the corresponding
product labeling).
1 Power off the meter. Then gently wipe over the sur-
faces (touchscreen, housing) with a soft, lint-free
cloth slightly dampened (not wet).
2 With a fresh dry cloth or lint-free tissue, wipe away
residual moisture and fluids after cleaning the
housing. Visually verify that no solution is seen any-
where on the housing or touchscreen at the com-
pletion of cleaning and disinfecting.
3 Allow wiped areas to dry for at least 10 minutes
before performing the next patient test.
Ensure that the blue test strip guide cover remains
tightly closed while cleaning the meter housing.
Do not let liquid accumulate near any opening. Ensure
that no liquid enters the meter.
If you notice streaks on the housing or touchscreen, or
the touchscreen surface becomes slightly cloudy, wipe
clean immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth slightly
dampened with water.
