FAQs

Are these lancets prescription-only?

Yes, the La Roche-Posay Softclix Lancets are prescription-only medical devices. You will need a valid prescription from your doctor or medical professional to purchase them.

What lancing device are these lancets compatible with?

These lancets are exclusively compatible with the La Roche-Posay Softclix Lancing Device.

How do I safely dispose of used lancets?

Used lancets should be disposed of immediately in an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container or a strong, puncture-resistant plastic container. Consult your healthcare provider or local waste management for proper disposal guidelines.

Can I reuse a lancet?

No, La Roche-Posay Softclix Lancets are designed for single use only to maintain sterility and prevent infection. Reusing a lancet can lead to inaccurate readings, increased pain, and the risk of infection.

How should I store unopened lancets?

Store unopened lancets in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.

What is the benefit of using sterile, single-use lancets?

Sterile, single-use lancets minimize the risk of infection and contamination at the puncture site, ensuring a safe and hygienic blood glucose testing process.

Troubleshooting

Lancet does not puncture the skin

Ensure the lancing device is properly cocked and the depth setting is adjusted appropriately for your skin thickness. Check that the lancet is correctly inserted into the device.

Insufficient blood sample obtained

Try increasing the depth setting on the lancing device. Ensure the lancing site is warm and have it hanging below heart level to encourage blood flow. Do not squeeze excessively around the puncture site, as this can dilute the sample.

Discomfort during lancing

Adjust the depth setting to a shallower level. Ensure the lancing device is held firmly against the skin. Try a different lancing site, such as the sides of the fingertips.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use the La Roche-Posay Softclix Lancets, first ensure you have a valid prescription. Insert a lancet into the Softclix lancing device, twist off the protective cap, and keep it aside. Then, prime the lancing device by cocking the slider. Adjust the depth setting on the lancing device to your comfort level. After testing, use the cap you set aside to safely remove the used lancet from the device.

Compatibility: These lancets are specifically designed for and compatible with the La Roche-Posay Softclix Lancing Device. They are not intended for use with other lancing devices.
