The Accu-Chek Softclix finger pricker is
intended for patient self-monitoring by a single
person only. It must not be used to collect
blood from more than one person as this poses
an infection risk.
Any object coming into contact with human blood
is a potential source of infection (see: Clinical and
Laboratory Standards Institute: Protection of Laboratory
Workers from Occupationally Acquired Infections;
Approved Guideline – Third Edition; CLSI document
M29-A3, 2005).
For healthcare professionals we recommend the
Accu-Chek Safe-T-Pro Plus or Accu-Chek
Safe-T-Pro Uno disposable finger prickers.
Note: The hypo indicator level may vary from
person to person. Therefore we recommend leaving
the hypo indicator function turned off when using
the meter in a professional setting.
Performing a Blood Glucose Test
1. Wear protective gloves.
2. Wash or disinfect the patient’s finger and allow it to
dry thoroughly. The drop of blood does not spread
so easily over dry skin.
3. Use only a finger pricker that is approved for use by
healthcare professionals.
