Subsequent Treatment of the Puncture Site
Wipe the puncture site with a dry, clean tissue. If
it continues to bleed, apply gentle pressure to the
puncture site with a plaster to protect it from dirt or
infection.
Cleaning and Disinfecting the Accu-Chek
Softclix Finger Pricker
To clean the Accu-Chek Softclix finger pricker,
use any mild liquid detergent and a soft cloth.
Avoid immersing the device completely in liquid. In
addition, disinfect the cap thoroughly about once a
week by placing it for 10 minutes in a 70% alcohol
solution (available at your chemist), or use another
commercially available disinfectant (follow the
manufacturer’s instructions).
Accu-Chek Softclix Lancet
Use the Accu-Chek Softclix lancet to operate the
Accu-Chek Softclix finger pricker. These lancets are
manufactured to such a high standard of accuracy
that the individual penetration depth selected on
the finger pricker remains unchanged when a new
lancet is inserted, and consequently there is no
need to reset it. Available in packs of 200 lancets.
