Monitor
®
Your MediTouch 2 blood glucose monitor is a
high-precision instrument. Handle with care to
avoid damaging the electronics and prevent de-
fects. You do not need any additional cleaning to
maintain your monitor, provided it has not come
into contact with blood or control solution. Keep
the monitor free from dirt, dust, blood and water
stains. Observe the following instructions:
• Make sure that the monitor is switched off.
• Clean the surface of the monitor with a soft
cloth slightly dampened with 70-75 % ethanol.
• Never use abrasive detergents or strong
brushes.
• Never use cleaning agents on the monitor.
• Never immerse the monitor in water. Do not
allow water or other liquids to penetrate the
monitor. Dry the monitor with a lint-free cloth
after cleaning.
• Make sure that dirt, dust, blood, control so-
lution, water or alcohol do not penetrate the
test strip slot or get onto the buttons on the in-
side of the monitor.
• Do not expose the monitor to extreme tempe-
ratures.

• Store the monitor in the zip bag provided after
each use.
• Do not store the monitor and the test strips in
a vehicle, bathroom or refrigerator.

the monitor for one month or longer.
