disinfecting.
1
• Cleaning and disinfecting the lancing device and the meter destroys most, but not necessarily all, blood-borne pathogens.
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before and after handling the meter, lancing device, lancets, or test strips
as contact with blood presents an infection risk.
• If the meter is being operated by a second person who provides testing assistance, the meter and lancing device should be
disinfected prior to use by the second person.
• It is important to keep the meter and the lancing device clean and disinfected. For instructions on how to clean and disinfect the
meter and lancing device, see Meter Cleaning and Disinfecting and Lancing Device Cleaning and Disinfecting in the Owner’s Booklet.
WARNING!
NEVER reuse Test Strips. NEVER wipe Test Strips with water, alcohol or
any cleaner. DO NOT attempt to remove blood or control sample from Test Strips or
clean Test Strips and re-use. Reuse of Test Strips can cause inaccurate results. NEVER
add a second drop of sample to the Strip. Adding more sample gives an error message.
CAUTION!
Holding the Test Strip
sample tip to the blood sample too
long after the Meter begins testing
may cause inaccurate results.

Discard Test Strip if Meter did not begin testing within
5 seconds after placing Tip of Test Strip against blood drop.
