Meter can be cleaned using a moist (not
wet) lint-free tissue with a mild detergent or disinfecting
solution (1 part bleach mixed with 9 parts water). Do not
use alcohol. Wipe the outside
of the meter, taking care to
keep detergent or disinfecting
solution from running down into
the test strip slot. Wipe dry with
a lint-free tissue after cleaning.
If you do get moisture in the
test strip slot, wick it away with
a corner of a tissue as shown.
Inspect the test strip slot, from
both the inside and outside, for
debris and foil. Gently remove
if found.
