Caring for your Prodigy® Meter
Cleaning your System
Your Prodigy

meter should be cleaned whenever
it is visibly dirty by wiping the outside of the
meter using a cloth dampened with either mild
detergent mixed with water or 70% isopropyl
(rubbing) alcohol. Do not use bleach or other
harsh abrasives to clean your meter.
Do not get any liquids, dirt, dust, blood or control
solution inside the meter through the test strip
port or the data port. Never spray cleaning
solution on the meter or immerse it in any liquid.
Lancing Device
Wipe your Prodigy
®
lancing device with a soft
cloth dampened with water and mild detergent
or 70% isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Do not
immerse the lancing device in any liquid. Do not
use bleach.
Disinfecting your System
If your Prodigy
®
meter is being operated by
a second person who is providing testing
assistance to the user, the meter and lancing

®
lancing device once a
week. After cleaning the device, unscrew the cap
and place it in 70% isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol for
several minutes. Make sure the cap is completely
