Discarding The Blood Glucose Monitoring System - Accu-Chek Mobile User Manual

Discarding the blood glucose monitoring system

During blood glucose testing, the meter may come into contact with blood. Used meters therefore carry a
risk of infection. Discard your used meter, after removing the batteries, according to local regulations.
The meter falls outside the scope of the European Directive 2012/19/EC (Directive on waste electrical and
electronic equipment).
j
Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally-friendly way at an appropriate collection depot.
For information about correct disposal, contact your local council or authority.
Used lancet drums and test cassettes can be disposed of in household waste if no other regulations apply
locally.
Removing the backup battery
In addition to the two batteries in the battery compartment, there is a third battery in the side of the
battery compartment; the backup battery. You must also remove this battery before discarding the meter.
Remove the backup battery as follows:
Use a small screwdriver to break out the partition
wall in front of the battery.
The battery then drops into the battery
compartment.
