Display Check

This verifies that all parts of the display are working. Make sure the meter is off. Press and hold down the ON/OFF button. The display should look exactly like the picture at right. If it does not, call Roche Diagnostics.

Cleaning

Clean the outside of the meter, as needed, using a soft cloth that has been slightly dampened with one of the following:

•70% alcohol

•a solution of mild dishwashing liquid and water

•10% household bleach solution (1 part bleach in 9 parts water) made fresh daily

•Sekupoudre

•Super Sani-wipes (Ammonium Chloride with alcohol)

Do not get moisture into the code key slot, test strip slot, or the serial port.

Note to Healthcare Professionals: Follow the infection control procedures appropriate for your facility.
