8.3 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.
In order to disinfect the lower edge of the drum compartment cover and
measuring window, you need to open the drum compartment cover.
First make sure the meter is turned off.
Open the drum compartment cover by lifting where it projects
slightly to the right of the test strip guide.
