How to Take a Blood Sample
1. Pull off the cap from the Accu-Chek Softclix
finger pricker.
2. Insert a new Accu-Chek Softclix lancet as far as
it goes into the lancet holder and push it in until it
clicks.
3. To remove the protective cap, twist and then pull
it.
4. Press the Accu-Chek Softclix finger pricker cap
on again until it clicks. Be sure to align the notch
on the cap with centre of the semicircular cut-out
on the ejector.
5. First check that you have set the desired
penetration depth. 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.
6. Wash and dry hands thoroughly. Milk the blood
from the wrist down to the end of the fingers.
Hold the Accu-Chek Softclix finger pricker against
the finger tip – or you can use your ear lobe and
press gently. You can feel the thin ring around the
opening of the cap and sense the exact point of
penetration. Press the transparent release button.
