Cleaning the Accu-Chek Integra meter
The Accu-Chek Integra meter utilizes an optical measuring method that
relies heavily on all of its components being clean. Owing to the way the
test strip works, the meter does not normally come into direct contact
with blood or control solution. Regular cleaning is therefore largely un-
necessary. In the rare event of it becoming soiled through improper use,
cleaning may become necessary (see error message “OFF” on page 92).
For cleaning use only cold water. Any other cleaning agents
may damage the meter or impair its measuring function.
Use a lightly moistened cloth or a lightly moistened cotton
swab. Do not spray anything onto the meter and do not im-
merse it in water. This may damage internal parts, so affecting
its operation.
If the outside of your meter or the display are dirty, wipe them with a
lightly moistened cloth.
