CLEANING YOUR METER:
Your Ascensia® BREEZE ™ Meter can be cleaned using a moist (not wet) lint-free tissue with a mild detergent or disinfecting solution (1 part bleach mixed with 9 parts water). Wipe both the outside and inside of the meter, taking care to keep detergent or disinfecting solution from running down into the test strip slot. Wipe dry with a lint-free tissue after cleaning.
If you do get moisture in the test strip slot, wick it away with a corner of a tissue as shown.
