8.5 Cleaning/disinfecting the test strip guide
Use the solutions recommended on page 151 for clean-
ing/disinfecting the test strip guide. Apply the solutions
for a contact time of > 1 minute (refer to the correspond-
ing product labeling) using lint-free cotton swabs/buds.
1 With the meter powered off, remove the test strip
guide cover to clean it. (Use your thumbnail to open
the cover of the test strip guide by pressing its front
edge upward.) Move the cover safely away from the
meter. Then rinse the cover with warm water or
wipe it clean using the solutions recommended
above. Let the test strip guide cover dry for at least
10 minutes before re-attaching it.
2 Hold the meter upright with the test strip guide
facing down.
■ Clean the easily accessible white areas with a mois-
tened cotton swab/bud.
■ Ensure the swab/bud is only damp, not wet. Wipe
away residual moisture and fluids.
