Accu-Chek Softclix Lancet Overview

The Accu-Chek Softclix Lancet Device makes capillary blood collection from the fingertips virtually pain-free. Precision-guided technology minimizes any side-to-side motion that may tear skin and cause pain. Thin-gauge, bevel cut lancets provide an effortless entry.

Customizable Depth Settings

The Softclix Lancing Device has 11 depth settings to accommodate even the thickest skin textures. Users should experiment to find the depth that fits their skin type. The manufacturer recommends starting with setting two and adjusting from that point to get the best results. Bear in mind, the larger the number, the greater the penetration depth.

Complementary Products

The Accu-Chek Softclix Pen is compatible with Softclix Lancets. Used lancets should be disposed of in a puncture-proof sharps container to prevent injury.

Try pairing the Softclix Lancing Device with a Glucose Monitoring Device and Glucose Testing Strips.

How To Clean and Disinfect the Lancing Device

Note: Always remove the lancet before cleaning or disinfecting. Do not throw away the cap after each use.

Clean and disinfect the lancing device's surface at least once a week to remove dirt or other material. The Accu-Chek exterior may slightly discolor after multiple cleaning or disinfecting cycles. The discoloring should not affect the lancing device's functionality. Super Sani-Cloth is excellent for cleaning and disinfecting. Use one cloth for cleaning and a separate cloth for disinfecting.

1. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.
2. Wipe the entire lancing device surface and the inside of the cap.
3. With a second Sani-Cloth, disinfect the lancing device in the same fashion as step 2.
