THE IHEALTH SYSTEM CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Replacing the battery
Your meter comes with one 3V CR1620 lithium battery installed. The battery lasts up to six
months depending on the usage. Follow the instructions below to replace the battery.
1. Turn the meter over with the iHealth logo facing down.
2. Lift off the back cover by pulling firmly from the notch next to the test strip port.
3. Remove the battery by pressing the small white eject button next to the battery tray.
4. Insert the new battery with the “+” side facing up and snap it into place.
5. Press the back panel back in place by inserting the front clip into place and snapping the back
of the cover down.
When the “Battery is low” indicator appears within the app, replace the battery to ensure
successful and accurate measurements.
Disposal – Electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Please
recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local authority or retailer for recycling advice.
Cleaning And Disinfecting the Meter and Lancing Device
The cleaning and disinfection is absolutely necessary for the test procedure, because cleaning
can ensure the meter works well (for example, display will be clear to see after cleaning); and
disinfection will reduce the chance of spreading infection to others.
The meter and lancing device should be cleaned and disinfected following each use. We suggest
that you use CaviWipes™ (Metrex® Research Corporation, EPA Reg. No. 46781-8, EPA Est. No.
9
Push
56952-WI-001). CaviWipes, with isopropanol and diisobutyl-phenoxy-ethoxyethyl dimethyl benzyl
ammonium chloride as the active ingredients, have been shown to be safe for use with the meter
and lancing device.
You can purchase this product from the suppliers listed below:
(1) Visit the website www.metrex.com or contact Metrex at 800-841-1428 for product or technical
information.
(2) Visit the website http://www.endochoice.com/Equipment?search=wipe.
The meter and lancing device are validated to withstand 11,000 individual tests and 11,000
cleanings over their 5-year life spans.
Steps for cleaning and disinfecting the meter and lancing device
1. After a test, clean and wash your hands.
2. Use one CaviWipe to carefully clean the meter, front and back.
3. Disinfect the meter with another wipe and let it air dry.
4. Use the same method with the CaviWipes to clean and disinfect the lancing device.
5. Take off and discard the sanitary cover for the mobile device after each test.
WARNING
①
Each disinfection step requires a pre-cleaning step. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and
water after handling the meter, lancing device, or test strips.
②
Only the surface of the meter can be cleaned and disinfected with the disinfecting towelette.
Do not insert the CaviWipe into the test port.
