Cleaning; Meter Storage - Fora D40 Pro Operations & Procedures Manual

NOTE:
• Do NOT clean and disinfect the meter while performing tests.
• If the meter is being operated by a second person, the meter
and lancing device should be decontaminated prior to use by
the second person.
• Do NOT allow cleaning and disinfecting solution to get in the
test slot, battery compartment, or strip-ejection button.
• If you do get moisture in the test strip slot, wipe it away with a
corner of tissue.
• Always dry the meter thoroughly before using it.
• Do not spray the meter directly with cleaning solutions
especially those containing water (i.e. soapy water), as this
could cause the solution to enter the case inside and damage
the electronic components or circuitry.
For more information of how to perform
disinfection procedures for the meter between
patients, please refer to:
