Disposing of the meter

During blood glucose testing the meter itself may come into contact
with blood. Used meters therefore carry a risk of infection. Please dis-
pose of your used meter - after removing the batteries - according to
the regulations applicable in your country. For information about correct
disposal please contact your local council or authority.
The meter falls outside the scope of the European Directive 2002/96/EC
(Directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment).

System components

Use only Accu-Chek Compact test strips for testing with the Accu-Chek
Compact Plus meter. These are available from your pharmacist.
Use only Accu-Chek Compact Autocontrol control solutions to perform
performance checks on your Accu-Chek Compact Plus meter.
Only use Accu-Chek Softclix lancets in your Accu-Chek Softclix Plus fin-
ger pricker. The lancets are available in various pack sizes.
If you wish to use blood from alternative sites (such as the base of the
thumb, forearm, upper arm, calf or thigh), you need a special, transpar-
ent AST cap to obtain blood using the Accu-Chek Softclix Plus finger
pricker. It is available through the Accu-Chek Customer Careline free on
0800 701000 (UK) or 1800 709600 (Ireland).
For healthcare professionals we recommend the Accu-Chek Safe-T-Pro
Plus or Accu-Chek Safe-T-Pro Uno disposable finger prickers.
