Caring for your system

Storing your system
Store your meter, test strips, control solution and other
items in your carrying case. Keep in a cool, dry place
between 5°C and 30°C. Do Not refrigerate. Keep all items
away from direct sunlight and heat.

Cleaning and disinfection

Cleaning and disinfection are different and both should
be performed. Cleaning is part of your normal care
and maintenance and should be performed prior to
disinfection, but cleaning does not kill germs. Disinfection
is the only way to reduce your exposure to disease. For
cleaning information, see page 80 and for disinfecting
information, see page 82.
Cleaning your meter, lancing device
and cap
The meter, lancing device and cap should be cleaned
whenever they are visibly dirty and before disinfection.
Clean your meter at least once per week. For cleaning
obtain regular strength liquid dish soap and a soft cloth.
Prepare a mild detergent solution by stirring 2.5 mL of
regular strength liquid dish soap into 250 mL of water.
