XIX.Maintenance
• Use of this instrument in a dry environment, especially if synthetic materials are
present (synthetic clothing, carpets etc.) may cause damaging electrostatic
discharges that may cause erroneous results.
• Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): The meter complies with the electromag-
netic requirements IEC 61326-2-6: 2012 specified in ISO 15197-2013. Electro-
magnetic emissions are low and unlikely to interfere with other nearby electronic
equipment, nor are emissions from nearby electronic equipment likely to interfere
with the meter. Immunity to electrostatic is charge meets the requirements of IEC
61326-2-6: 2012. The meter has been tested for radio frequency interference at
the frequency range and test levels specified by IEC 61326-2-6: 2012.
• Do not use this instrument in close proximity to sources of strong electromagnet-
ic radiation, as these may interfere with the proper operation.
• Avoid dirt, dust, blood, control solution or liquids into the meter test port.
• Do not keep meter in an area where it may be crushed.
• Store blood glucose monitoring system (meter, test strip, control solution) in a
dry place.
• Do not freeze.
• Do not store in the kitchen or bathroom.
