9.3 Using the Accu-Chek Softclix finger pricker
1. Pull off the Accu-Chek Softclix cap. Insert a new Accu-Chek
Softclix lancet in the lancet holder and push it in
until it clicks.
Remove the protective cap from the lancet with
a twisting motion. To avoid injuries, keep cap and
replace on lancet before discarding. Use a new
lancet each time you take blood to prevent infection and
to ensure virtually painless blood sampling.
2. Press the Accu-Chek Softclix cap on again
until it clicks.
Be sure to align the notch on the cap with the
centre of the semicircular cutout on the ejector.
3. Rotate the Comfort Dial on the Accu-Chek Softclix
cap to set the penetration depth.
If you are using the Accu-Chek Softclix finger
pricker for the first time, set the Comfort Dial to 1.
For thicker or calloused skin, select a higher setting.
4. Press in the priming button until it clicks.
Be careful not to press the release button at the
same time. The finger pricker is primed when
a yellow dot appears in the transparent release
button. Do not prime the Accu-Chek Softclix finger
pricker until you are ready to take blood.
