Caring For Your
Meter and Lancing Device
When using your meter, avoid getting dirt, dust, blood, control
solution, water or any other liquid into the strip port and
battery compartment. Clean the outside of the meter or the
lancing device using a cloth dampened with mild detergent
or mild soap. If you wish to clean the lancing device cap only,
remove the cap, wash it in warm water, rinse well, and dry.
CAUTION: Never immerse the meter or the body of the
lancing device in water or any other liquid solution.
