ACCU-CHEK SOFTCLIX LANCETS PACK OF 200
Name
Brand Name: Accu-Chek Softclix Lancets Manufacturer: Roche Diabetes Care India Pvt. Ltd.
Composition
Accu-Chek Softclix Lancets feature a beveled, 28-gauge needle with a three-sided, optimally cut tip, enhancing precise and gentle skin penetration. These ultra-small needles are coated with silicone to reduce friction and discomfort during sampling. Each lancet is sterilized using gamma radiation to ensure hygiene and safety. The unique design incorporates precision-guided technology to minimize painful side-to-side motion (Clixmotion technology), leading to less skin damage. They also have a rectangular cross-section for smoother entry.
Uses
Accu-Chek Softclix Lancets are primarily designed for collecting capillary blood samples from the fingertip for accurate blood glucose monitoring. They are essential for individuals with diabetes (both Type 1 and Type 2) to regularly check and manage their blood sugar levels effectively. These lancets can also be used for alternate site testing (AST) from areas like the palm, forearm, or upper arm, typically requiring a specific AST cap for the lancing device.
Dosage and Administration
Accu-Chek Softclix Lancets are intended for single-use only to prevent infection and maintain sterility. They are used exclusively with the Accu-Chek Softclix lancing device. Instructions for use:
- Remove the cap from the lancing device and insert a new lancet until it clicks.
- Twist off the protective cap from the lancet to expose the needle.
- Replace the lancing device cap, ensuring alignment.
- Rotate the cap to set the desired penetration depth; the lancing device offers 11 depth settings. It is recommended to start with a lower setting (e.g., 1 or 2) and adjust as needed to obtain an adequate blood sample.
- Prime the device by pressing the priming button until a yellow dot appears, indicating it's ready.
- Press the lancing device firmly against the side of the fingertip and press the yellow release button.
- After use, remove the cap and slide the ejector forward to safely dispose of the used lancet. Warm hands and massage the finger can improve blood flow for sampling.
Side Effects
Commonly reported side effects include mild pain or discomfort at the puncture site and temporary redness or irritation on the skin. The design aims to minimize skin tearing and discomfort.
Precautions
- Do not reuse lancets, as this can lead to infection and dull the needle, making testing more painful.
- The lancing device and lancets are for single-person use only to prevent cross-contamination and the transmission of infections.
- Dispose of used lancets immediately and safely in a sharps container.
- Inspect the lancet before use; do not use if the protective cap is damaged or missing, or if the lancet has expired, as sterility may be compromised.
- Keep small parts, such as lancets, out of reach of small children to avoid choking hazards.
- Only Accu-Chek Softclix lancets should be used with the Accu-Chek Softclix lancing device to ensure proper operation.
- Do not attempt to clean the lancets.
Storage
Store lancets in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them at extreme temperatures, such as in a hot car, as this can impair their operation. The lancing device itself should be stored without a lancet inserted.

(Inclusive of all taxes)Frequently Asked Questions
What are Accu-Chek Softclix Lancets used for?
Accu-Chek Softclix Lancets are used with the Accu-Chek Softclix lancing device to obtain a small blood sample. This blood sample is primarily used for monitoring blood glucose levels with a blood glucose meter, especially for individuals with diabetes.
How do Accu-Chek Softclix Lancets work and how do I use them?
These lancets are designed for accurate penetration and virtually pain-free testing when used with the Accu-Chek Softclix lancing device. To use, you insert a new lancet into the lancing device until it clicks, twist off the protective cap, and replace the lancing device cap, aligning the notch. You then set the penetration depth using the dial on the cap, prime the device by pressing the plunger, and press the yellow release button against your fingertip (or an alternate site if using an AST cap) to get a blood sample.
What are the key features of Accu-Chek Softclix Lancets?
Accu-Chek Softclix Lancets feature precision-guided technology and thin-gauge, bevel-cut needles (typically 28-gauge or 30-gauge) to ensure smoother entry and reduce pain during blood sampling. The lancing device itself often includes 11 customizable depth settings, allowing users to adjust the lancing depth to their skin type for personalized comfort and to ensure sufficient blood for testing. The Clixmotion technology in the lancing device minimizes painful side-to-side motion of the lancet, reducing skin damage.
How often should I change Accu-Chek Softclix Lancets?
It is crucial to use a new, sterile lancet each time you perform a blood glucose test. Reusing lancets can increase the risk of infection and makes the process more painful because the needle becomes dull with repeated use.
Are Accu-Chek Softclix Lancets compatible with other lancing devices?
Accu-Chek Softclix Lancets are specifically designed to be used exclusively with the Accu-Chek Softclix and Accu-Chek Softclix Plus lancing devices. Using other types of lancets may impair the operation of the lancing device or damage it permanently.
How should I safely dispose of used Accu-Chek Softclix Lancets?
Used lancets should be placed and disposed of immediately in an approved sharps container. If an FDA-cleared sharps container is not available, a heavy-duty plastic household container, such as a laundry detergent bottle with a tight, puncture-resistant lid, can be used as an alternative. Never dispose of loose needles or sharps in household trash, public trash, or recycling bins, as this can pose a risk of injury and infection. Always follow local regulations for sharps disposal.
What precautions should I take when using Accu-Chek Softclix Lancets?
Always use a new, sterile lancet for each test to reduce the risk of infection. Do not use the lancet if its protective cap is damaged, missing, or if any part of the needle is exposed. The Accu-Chek Softclix lancing device is intended for personal use by one person only to prevent cross-contamination and the risk of infection. Keep lancets and small parts away from small children to prevent choking hazards. Ensure hands are clean and dry before testing.
What happens if I use expired Accu-Chek Softclix Lancets?
Using expired lancets can compromise sterility, increasing the risk of infection at the puncture site. The use-by date is printed on the packaging, and lancets should only be used within this date to ensure safety and effectiveness.
