Using The Alcohol Pads - Medisana MediTouch Instruction Manual

5.2.4 Using the alcohol pads

NOTE
The starter pack of your
MediTouch blood glucose
monitor contains 5 alcohol
pads.
The pads are saturated with
75% ethanol.
Use the alcohol pads to
prepare the skin for the blood
sample if you are out and
circumstances prevent you
from washing your hands.
After using an alcohol pad
the skin must be allowed to
dry properly.
Tear open the alcohol pad wrapping at
the place indicated.
Remove the alcohol pad and wipe the
skin firmly where the blood sample will
be taken. Wait a few seconds until the
alcohol has completely evaporated
from the skin to avoid causing incorrect
readings.
Do not use the pad again and throw it
away immediately after use.
Note:
If necessary the alcohol pads can
also be used to clean the surface of
the monitor (see 7.2 Cleaning and
maintenance, p. 36).

WARNING
