Chapter 5: Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Storing and Handling Your Meter
Store your test strips in the bottles provided.
Keep your meter in a clean, dry, place between 46 to 86
o
F (8 to 30

When you are not using your meter, keep it stored in the hard, protective case.
Enforce infection control policies when healthcare professionals are handling your
meter.
Cleaning Your Meter
Cleaning your Solus V2 Glucose Meter is easy. We recommend that you clean the meter after
every use. Gently wipe and clean its surface with a soft cloth that has been slightly
dampened with 70 percent alcohol (ethyl alcohol), or 70 percent rubbing alcohol (isopropyl
alcohol).
