successful verification and delivers a corresponding message. Measurements must be
within ±5 % of the glycerin standard.

The stainless-steel needles can be cleaned with steel wool or other mild abrasives. The
needles can also be straightened with a pair of pliers by applying gentle pressure, if needed.

The VARIOS can be cleaned with a paper towel dampened with water.

running water. DO NOT clean the device with other substances such as alcohol to avoid damaging the VARIOS
