Clean your finger pricker regularly to keep it in good working condition.
If any blood gets on it, always wipe this away immediately. Clean the
outside of the finger pricker only. Wipe it once a week with a cloth lightly
moistened with 70 % ethanol or 70 % isopropanol (available from your
pharmacist).
In addition, thoroughly wipe the inside of the cap using a cotton bud
lightly moistened with one of the two cleaning fluids.

Cleaning the finger pricker

After cleaning, allow the finger pricker time to dry thoroughly.
Never dip the finger pricker in cleaning liquid. Doing so may
damage the internal parts of the finger pricker so affecting its
operation.
Use only 70 % ethanol or 70 % isopropanol to clean the finger
pricker. Other cleaning agents may attack the plastic and stop the
finger pricker from operating properly.
