How to use the Accu-Chek FastClix lancing device
1-Click is all it takes. Priming and releasing are now combined into a simple 1-Click action. As with Accu-Chek Softclix lancing device, Clixmotion® technology has also been integrated into the Accu-Chek FastClix lancing device making lancing quick, easy and virtually pain free1. The rotatable cap offers 11 depth settings that let you customise the device to your skin type. The lancing device uses a drum of 6 preloaded lancets, so you don’t handle individual lancets.

The Accu‑Chek FastClix lancing device is intended for personal use only. It is only allowed to be used to obtain blood from one person. There is a risk of infection being transmitted if the lancing device is used by other people, even by family members, or if healthcare professionals use this lancing device to obtain blood from different people. This lancing device is therefore not suitable for professional use in healthcare facilities and institutions.
