The Accu‑Chek FastClix Finger Pricker

Return the AST
converter cap to the
same position over
the puncture site.
Apply pressure to the
site to help the blood
drop form properly.
Do not allow the cap to touch the blood
drop.
Load the next lancet
by sliding the lever
(until it stops), then
slide it back all the
way.
The lancet counter decreases one
number.
NOTE
• Always use a new, sterile lancet each
time you test to avoid infection.
• For safety reasons, once you
advance to a new lancet, you cannot
go back to a used lancet.
• NEVER reuse a lancet.
• NEVER share your finger pricker with
anyone.
• If the blood drop is too small, release
pressure for a few seconds, without
removing the AST converter cap from
the puncture site. Reapply pressure
to the AST converter cap to get a
sucient blood drop.
• Once you perform a successful blood
glucose test, you may want to find
the lowest depth setting that
provided enough blood with the least
amount of pain.
Treatment of the Puncture Site
Wipe the puncture site with a clean, dry
tissue. If it continues to bleed, apply gentle
pressure to the site with a plaster to
protect it from dirt or infection.
Changing the Lancet Drum
When you have used the sixth and last
lancet, change the lancet drum.
Remove the cap.
Hold the lancet drum
between your thumb
and index finger and
pull it straight out.
A red stripe is visible
on the white part, indicating that the
lancet drum has been used.
Throw the old lancet
drum away.
Always discard
according to local
regulations.
