aintenance
For safe, accurate and long-lasting use of the MyGlucoHealth Wireless Meter, the
meter must be properly cared for.
1.
The meter should be cleaned with a soft cloth or tissue. If necessary, rub-
bing alcohol can be used to wipe away dirt on the outer surface of the
meter. Do not use chemical solutions such as benzene or acetone since
both of these solutions can harm and damage the meter surface. When
cleaning the meter with rubbing alcohol, DO NOT pour fluid directly onto
the meter, but use the cloth soaked with a small amount of alcohol. After
cleaning the meter, dry completely in a cool place avoiding direct sun-
light.
2.
Do not soak the meter or test strips in water or liquid. Strong electromag-
netic fields (e.g. microwave ovens) could disturb the meter function. Do
not put the meter or strips near fire, heat sources or microwave ovens.
3.
After testing, place the MyGlucoHealth Wireless Meter in the carrying
case to prevent loss or damage. Make sure it is placed in a cool and dry
area and out of reach of children. Do not refrigerate. Avoid exposure to
sun.
4.
Close the vial cap tightly immediately after removing the MyGlucoHealth
Test Strips. Refer to your MyGlucoHealth Test Strip Instructions for more
information.
5.
The lancing device should be cleaned if blood residue is visible after the
test to prevent infections.
6.
Dispose of used testing materials in accordance with local regulations for
contaminated materials.
7.
The MyGlucoHealth Wireless Meter may be sent back to the manufacturer
for recycling or proper disposal after its useful life. Alternatively the meter
may be disposed of in accordance with local laws.
