Disinfecting the meter

The Accu-Chek Compact Plus meter may be disinfected. Disinfection is
performed according to the degree of soiling (see "When to disinfect").
What to disinfect
The following parts of the meter may become contaminated:

the area around the test strip guide

the lower edge of the drum compartment cover

the measuring window

the casing
The test strip guide and measuring window must always be kept
clean. When you turn the meter on to perform a test, the test strip
is advanced over the measuring window and out through the test
strip guide. Any residues of blood remaining on the measuring
window or in the test strip guide may get onto the test strip and
contaminate it.
