Cleaning the Accu-Chek Softclix Plus lancing device

Clean your lancing device regularly to keep it in good working condi-
tion. If any blood gets on it, always wipe this away immediately. Clean
the outside of the lancing device 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 Q-Tip lightly
moistened with one of the two cleaning fluids.
Allow the lancing device time to dry thoroughly.
Never dip the lancing device in cleaning fluid.
Doing so may damage internal parts, so affecting its operation.
Use only 70 % ethanol or 70 % isopropanol to clean the lancing
device. Other substances used for cleaning may attack the plastic
and stop the lancing device from operating properly.
