Caring For Your System:
Storing Your System:
- Once opened, store your meter, test strips, control solution, lancing device and lancets in your carrying case.
- Keep in a cool, dry place between 41°F and 86°F and below 90% relative humidity. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Do Not store the test strip vial in rooms where the air is humid such as the kitchen, laundry room or bathroom. Exposure to temperatures outside the storage limits, as well as moisture and humidity, may cause inaccurate readings.
Cleaning And Disinfection:
- Cleaning and disinfection are different. Both should be performed at least once per week.
- Cleaning is part of your normal care and maintenance, but does not kill germs.
- Disinfection is the only way to reduce your exposure to disease. After use and exposure to blood, all parts of this kit may transmit infectious diseases.
- You should clean your meter, lancing device and cap before disinfecting.
- For cleaning and disinfecting, Clorox® Germicidal Wipes* containing 0.55% sodium hypochlorite as the active ingredient have been shown to be safe for use with the OneTouch Verio Reflect® System and can be obtained from retail websites offering disinfection products, e.g., www.officedepot.com or www.staples.com. For more information on purchase options contact OneTouch® Customer Care.

- *Other products, such as Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes, have not been tested and should not be used. Only Clorox® Germicidal Wipes should be used. Follow manufacturer's instruction for handling and storage of wipes. Clorox® is a registered trademark of the Clorox Company.
- IMPORTANT: If another person assists you with testing, the meter, lancing device and cap should always be cleaned and then disinfected prior to use by that person.
