WARNINGS:
• Any product coming in contact with blood is considered contaminated (potentially infectious).*
• During normal testing any blood sugar meter may come in contact with blood. Lancing devices may
also be considered sharps. Disposal of sharps is regulated by law in many jurisdictions.
The European Union has a requirement for improving waste management practices for certain electronic
equipment, but meters fall outside the scope of the European Directive 2002/96/EC.** This is not a
requirement for the U.S.A.; however, Roche is committed to recycling and sustainability. Please consider the
following points when disposing of your used testing materials:
• Comply with any laws or ordinances relating to the disposal of sharps and/or contaminated products.
contact your local health department or other appropriate authorities for proper handling and disposal of
used meters, used test strips, used lancets, and used batteries.
