Cleaning Your Lancet Device; Maintenance And Testing - Accu-Chek Compact Plus Owner's Booklet

Cleaning Your Lancet Device

To clean the ACCU-CHEK Softclix Plus lancet device, use a mild dishwashing liquid and a soft cloth. DO NOT
place the entire device under water. At least once a week, disinfect the cap after cleaning by placing it in
10% bleach solution*, 70% alcohol (ethyl alcohol) or 70% rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) for 10 minutes.
Allow the cap to air-dry after disinfecting.

Maintenance and Testing

Your meter needs little or no maintenance with normal use. It automatically tests its own systems every time
you turn it on and lets you know if something is wrong. See Display Messages and Troubleshooting for error
messages and what to do about them.
If you drop the meter or think it's not giving accurate readings, make sure that your test drum and control
solution have not expired, then run a control test.
To make sure the display is working properly, turn off the meter,
then press and hold down to see the complete display. All the
sections should be clear and should look exactly like the display as
shown. If not, call the ACCU-CHEK Customer Care Service Center
at 1-800-858-8072.
*Bleach solution must be prepared fresh the day you use it.
