Notes
Always turn the meter off by pressing the Test button, so as to
eject the test strip. Do not pull the test strip out. If you do pull the
used test strip out, blood can enter the meter and contaminate it.
Do not push an ejected test strip back into the test strip drum.
This includes any unused test strips that you have ejected by
accident. These test strips can produce incorrect results.
Incorrect results can cause the wrong therapeutic decision to be
taken and so produce serious adverse health effects.
If you do not turn the meter off, it turns off automatically after
i
approximately 60 seconds. The test strip then remains in the
meter.
The next time you turn the meter on, it ejects this test strip and
automatically turns off again.
You can dispose of used test strips with your regular household
i
waste.
