7.1 Cleaning
Device
Only clean the device when it is switched off.
Clean the surface of the device using a soft, slightly damp cloth (water or a mild cleaning solution).
Dry the device using a lint-free cloth.
Make sure that moisture does not enter the test strip insertion slot. Do not spray cleaning products
directly on the device. Do not submerge the device in water or any other fluids and make sure that
no fluids can get into the device.
Lancing device
Clean the surface of the lancing device using a soft, slightly damp cloth (water, a mild cleaning solu-
tion or rubbing alcohol). The lancing device must not be immersed in water or other liquids or be
cleaned in the dishwasher. Dry the lancing device using a lint-free cloth.
7.2 Disinfection
Device
Please comply with the generally applicable guidelines on disinfection when using the device on dif-
ferent persons. Do not submerge the device in disinfection solutions or any other fluids and make
sure that no fluids can enter the device.
Note
The monitor is made of precision components. The accuracy of the measurements and service life
of the device depend on its careful handling:
• Protect the device from impacts and do not drop it.
• Protect the device from damaging factors such as moisture, dirt, dust, blood, control solution or
water, marked temperature fluctuations, direct sunlight and extreme cold.
• If the device is used in a dry environment, in particular near synthetic materials (clothes containing
synthetic fibres and carpets, for example), the damaging static discharges which occur may cause
erroneous results.
• Do not use the device near sources of strong electro-magnetic radiation, as this may affect normal
operation.
• It is a good idea to carry out an assessment of the electro-magnetic environment before using the
device commercially.
