6 Caring for your system 6
Storing your system
Store your meter, test strips, control solution and other items
in your carrying case. Keep in a cool, dry place between 5°C
and 30°C. Do Not refrigerate. Keep all items away from direct
sunlight and heat.
Cleaning and disinfection
Cleaning and disinfection are different and both should
be performed. Cleaning is part of your normal care and
maintenance and should be performed prior to disinfection,
but cleaning does not kill germs. Disinfection is the only way
to reduce your exposure to disease. For cleaning information,
see page 65 and for disinfecting information, see page 67.
Cleaning your meter, lancing device
and cap
The meter, lancing device and cap should be cleaned
whenever they are visibly dirty and before disinfection. Clean
your meter at least once per week. For cleaning obtain regular
strength liquid dish soap and a soft cloth. Prepare a mild
detergent solution by stirring 2.5 mL of regular strength liquid
dish soap into 250 mL of water.
