PRECAUTION
Risk of infection

Used components that have come into contact with human body fluids can transmit infections.

Discard the sensor as potentially infectious material according to local regulations. For information on how to discard used components correctly, contact your local council or authority.

Other components of the pack can be discarded in domestic waste.

A damaged sensor applicator or an exposed sensor needle can cause injury.

Discard sharp objects according to local regulations. Make sure that sharp objects don't cause injury to you and others.

Since your sensor may come into contact with human body fluids during use, it carries a risk of infection. Dispose according to local regulations. Since the sensor is for single use only, it falls outside the scope of the European Directive 2012/19/EU (directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment).

This product includes a battery containing a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC), 1,2-dimethoxyethane (CAS 110-71-4), in a concentration above 0.1% weight by weight, as identified under REACH and added to the Candidate List. There is no direct exposure to the substance, and therefore no risk when the sensor is operated according to the instructions for use.
