7.5.3 Ejecting the test strip
 Hold the meter over a waste bin with the test strip pointing downwards.
 Press the Test button to turn the meter off. The used test strip drops out.
Notes
i
If you do not turn the meter off, it turns off automatically after approximately 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.
i
You can dispose of used test strips with your regular 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 therapeu-
tic decision to be taken and so produce serious adverse health effects.
