FAQs

How many lancets are included?

Can I use these lancets with other lancing devices?

No, these lancets are specifically designed for and only compatible with the Accu-Chek Fastclix lancing device.

Do I need a sharps container for disposal?

No, the used lancet drums from the Accu-Chek Fastclix system can be safely disposed of in your household waste.

How do I select the right depth setting?

The device has 11 depth settings. You can adjust the turning dial to find a setting that suits your skin type and yields an adequate blood sample with minimal discomfort. It may require some experimentation to find your optimal setting.

How do I know when to change the lancet drum?

Are these lancets suitable for children?

These lancets are suitable for adults and for children under supervision. Always follow the specific instructions for use with children and consult with a healthcare professional.

What makes this lancing system hygienic?

The lancets are pre-loaded into drums, meaning you do not need to handle individual lancets. The system ensures a clean sampling process with minimal contact.

Troubleshooting

Device does not advance to a new lancet.

Ensure you have used all 6 lancets from the current drum. If the drum is finished, insert a new one. If the drum is not finished, the lever mechanism may require gentle re-adjustment; refer to the device manual.

Insufficient blood sample obtained.

Adjust the depth setting to a higher number for thicker skin. Ensure the lancet is properly inserted and the device is held firmly against the fingertip.

Lancet seems dull or causes discomfort.

Ensure you are using a fresh lancet from a new drum. Used lancets can become dull. Also, verify the depth setting is appropriate for your skin type.

Lancet drum won't insert properly.

Check that the drum is oriented correctly for insertion and that there are no obstructions. Ensure you are using only Accu-Chek Fastclix compatible drums.
