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.
