7 Cleaning the Accu-Chek Integra meter

Make sure that no liquid enters the meter itself and avoid

scratching the measurement optics, as this will impair the

measuring function.

 When all of the components are thoroughly dry, check that the

meter is clean (no lint or fluff remaining).

 Place the optics cover back in position from above. Press on the left

and right sides of the cover. The cover quietly clicks back into place.

 Perform a quality control check (see Chapter 6, “Checking the

Accu-Chek Integra meter”).

Please ensure that the optical system cover is firmly in place

before you test. Otherwise it may block the strip from moving

into test position or from being ejected.

If you use 70 % alcohol or a strongly diluted rinsing solution,

wipe these fluids off immediately after application. Do not use

cleaning agents that contain acetic acid (vinegar) or scouring

agents because they can damage the display and the measure

ment optics.

8 Measurement and storage conditions

When testing blood glucose, pay close attention to the following points.

They affect the dependability of your Accu-Chek Integra meter and the

accuracy of your results.

8.1 Temperature range

 Without batteries and test strip drum, the meter may be stored at

between -40 °C and +70 °C.

 With batteries but without the test strip drum, the meter may be

stored at between -10 °C and +50 °C.

At temperatures above +50 °C the batteries could leak and

damage the meter.

At temperatures below -10 °C the batteries do not have

enough power to keep the internal clock functioning.

 With batteries and test strip drum, the meter may be stored at

between +2 °C and +30 °C.

 For performing blood glucose tests the permitted range is from

+10 °C to +40 °C.
