Disposal of the Meter, Test Strips, Lancets,
and Batteries
Any product coming in contact with blood is
considered contaminated (potentially
infectious).* During normal testing, the 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 United States; however,
Roche is committed to recycling and sustainability.
Please consider the following points when disposing
of your used testing materials:
*29 CFR 1910.1030 - Bloodborne pathogens
**Directive 2002/96/EC - Directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment
(WEEE)
