Cleaning the Test Strip Guide
1 Clean the easily accessible and visible
pipetting field area of the test strip
guide with a moistened cotton bud or tis-
sue. Then dry the test strip guide with a
fresh tissue.
Adhere to the following:
■ Clean only the visible area of the test
strip guide.
■ Do not insert any objects into the con-
cealed areas of the measurement cham-
ber as this might damage the optical
components of the meter.
■ Do not use objects to try to scratch off any
dried contaminants in the test strip guide.
2 Clean the membrane (small circle) in the
visible area at the end of the test strip
guide with a moistened cotton bud or
tissue.
3 Allow the inside of the test strip guide to
dry for about 10 minutes.
4 After this time, re-attach the sample
application cover to the housing and
make sure that it snaps correctly into
place.
