Strip Holder Installation
The strip holder comes already installed on the meter. After cleaning the
strip holder, it should be re-installed on the meter.
To remove the strip holder, push the strip holder away from the optics cover,
sliding it off the strip holder grooves towards the bottom of the meter. If blood
or debris is present, clean the strip holder using the DisCide Ultra
Disinfecting wipes as previously outlined.
To install the strip holder, make sure it is aligned with the strip holder
grooves, as shown below. Slide the strip holder in until it snaps into place.
The meter is now ready for testing.
Caution:
To avoid the transmission of infectious diseases between multiple
patients using the same meter, be sure to replace or clean the
strip holder as previously described.
Meter Strip/Specimen Application Area
The optical window should be clean and free of lint, blood, and other debris.
Using the DisCide Ultra Disinfecting wipes, remove the strip holder and
clean the meter strip and specimen application area and the four metal pins
including the optical window area as previously outlined in the Disinfection
Process section.
