9.2 Cleaning
Clean your Bigfoot Unity Cap as needed or if it is visibly dirty. Cleaning
helps remove dirt or other residue from the surfaces of your Cap.
Cleaning does not kill bacteria or viruses. If you get insulin on the Cap
clean it off right away. Do not submerge, soak or wash the Cap. Make
sure the USB port is dry before charging. Only use water, or isopropyl
alcohol wipes for cleaning. The Caps have a mean use life of 2 years
and have been validated for 156 cleaning cycles.
Cleaning the Outside of the Cap
1.
Using only alcohol or water, wipe down the outside of the Cap with
a Bigfoot alcohol prep pad or a clean, damp paper towel.
2.
Wipe the Cap dry before using the Cap.
Cleaning the Inside of the Cap
1.
Remove the Cap from the insulin pen.
2.
Wipe down the inside of the Cap that comes into contact with the
insulin pen. Use a Bigfoot alcohol prep pad or a clean, damp paper
towel, along with a six inch long cotton swab to clean the inner
cavity of the Cap.
3.
Wipe the Cap dry and make sure there is no residue remaining
before using the Cap.
WARNING:
Do NOT place sharp objects inside the inner tubes
of the Caps. Sharp objects can damage the inner lining of the
Caps.
Consider cleaning the Cap each time you change to a new insulin pen,
or every two weeks.
IMPORTANT:
If you require assistance or if you notice any signs
of deterioration on the Caps (such as clouding or fading on the
display of the Cap, corroding or eroding of the plastic housing, or
cracking of plastic housing or display) or if the Caps do not turn on,
discontinue use of the Caps and contact Bigfoot Customer Care at
(551) 244-3668.
