Discarding Used Test Strips And Lancets - OneTouch Ultra Owner's Booklet

Discarding Used Test Strips and Lancets

It is important to discard the used lancet carefully after each use to
avoid unintended lancet stick injuries.
Used test strips and lancets may be considered biohazardous waste
in your area. Be sure to follow your health care professional's
recommendations or your local regulations for proper disposal.
Step 1
Remove the Cap from the Lancing
Device.
Twist the cap counterclockwise. (Optional:
Replace the protective cover on the used
lancet by placing it on a hard surface and
pushing the lancet tip into the cover.)
Step 2
Eject the Lancet.
Point the lancing device down and away.
Push the release button to ensure that the
lancing device is not cocked. Push forward
on the ejection/cocking control and eject
the lancet directly into a container for sharp
objects. Return the ejection/cocking control
to the middle position. Replace the cap.
