Cleaning the meter
1 Place the meter on a level surface prior to cleaning.
2 Power off the meter.
Be certain that solutions contain acceptable active
ingredients for cleaning the system. When using
commercially available pre-moistened cleaning cloths,
squeeze off excess cleaning solution or blot on a dry
paper towel to remove any excess cleaning solu tion
before cleaning the surface of the meter.

Use a Clorox Germicidal Wipe or Super Sani-Cloth
Germicidal Disposable Wipe to clean by gently
wiping the outside of the meter and carefully wipe
around the test strip port area, making sure that no
liquid enters the test strip port and then wipe dry
with a tissue.
4 Dry the meter thoroughly with a dry cloth or gauze.
Visually verify that no solution is seen anywhere on
the meter at the completion of cleaning and
disinfecting. Ensure that the meter is thoroughly
dried after cleaning (see safety message “Avoid
getting liquid into the test strip port!” and NOTICE
in this section).
