If you do not turn the meter off, it turns off automatically after ap-
i
proximately 60 seconds. The test strip then remains in the meter.
When you turn on a meter which still has a test strip inserted, it
simply ejects the strip and turns itself off again.
You can dispose of used test strip drums with your regular
i
household waste.
Always let the meter eject the test strip.
If you pull out the used test strip, 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 strip 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 adverse health effects.
