7.1 Preparing the lancing device
The Accu-Chek Softclix Plus lancing device allows virtually pain-free collection of blood from a fingertip or earlobe. You can
choose one of 11 different penetration depth settings to suit your own skin type. You can use the lancing device either
attached to the meter, or separately.
The lancing device has a plunger at the top (see diagram on page 23), which has three functions.
 priming the lancet
 triggering the lancet to collect blood
 ejecting the used lancet.
You can perform all of these functions using just one hand. To activate a function just press the plunger down.
The cap at the lower end of the lancing device rotates. Use this to set the penetration depth.
The Accu-Chek Softclix Plus lancing device is intended for patient self-testing by a single person. The Accu-Chek
Softclix Plus lancing device must not be used on more than one person due to the risk of infection.
Only use Accu-Chek Softclix lancets in your Accu-Chek Softclix Plus lancing device. Using any other lancets may
damage the lancing device or impair its function.
