5. Gently press the Accu-Chek Softclix finger
pricker against the side of the fingertip or
earlobe and press the release button.
Take care not to push against the priming
button or to impede its free movement.
Wait a few seconds to allow a droplet of blood to form or gently
squeeze the fingertip to develop a drop of blood. Gently touch the
front edge of the test strip against the blood.
If you do not obtain sufficient blood, try the test again with
progressively higher settings. After obtaining the blood sample,
wipe the puncture site with a dry, clean paper towel. If necessary,
gently press the towel onto the site and, if bleeding persists,
cover with a bandage.
6. To remove the lancet, remove the Accu-
Chek Softclix cap. Place the protective
cap back on the lancet and slide the
ejector forwards to release the lancet.
Dispose of lancet in a safe container
(an empty drinks can, for instance).
