in case of mispipetting.
■ Remove the sample application cover.
■ Remove and dispose of the test strip.
■ Clean the soiled parts of the meter with a moistened cotton bud or tissue.

NOTICE
Do not move the meter to prevent liquids from running any further.
NOTICE
Dab away all visible blood (also on the test strip, but not in the

removed. During the drying time, the meter must not be moved as this
may soil the optical components.
