MAINTENANCE

Your SURESTEP® Blood Glucose Meter is easy to maintain. However, to keep it in good operating condi- tion, follow these simple rules:

General Care

■Keep your meter dry and avoid exposing it to extremes in temper- ature. Do not store your meter or test strips in a car or refrigerator.

■Dropping the meter could damage its electronics. If you drop your meter, do a control solution test to ensure it is working properly.

■Do not take the meter apart. Sensitive parts could be damaged, causing false results and voiding the warranty.

Cleaning the Meter

Clean the test strip holder (cover and base), lens area, and contact points with water when there is dirt, blood, or lint present.

CAUTION:

■Use only water when cleaning the meter. Do not get water inside the SURESTEP Meter. Never immerse the meter or hold it under running water.

■Do not use cleansers or glass cleaners with ammonia.

■When disinfecting the meter, use a 10% bleach solution (9 parts water, 1 part bleach) and remove with water.
