Chapter 3: Testing Your Blood Sugar
Using the ACCU-CHEK Multiclix Lancet Device
Notes:
• Testing with blood from places other than your fingertip
requires the clear cap. This is explained later in the chapter.
• The best depth setting is the lowest number that lets you
get enough blood for a test. Try different settings to find the
one that’s right for you. For virtually pain-free testing,
always use a new lancet for every test. With the
ACCU-CHEK Multiclix lancet device, you simply change
the lancet with a twist.
• To reduce the risk of infection, never share your lancet
device with anyone.
The clear cap is for
testing other approved
sites on the body, not the
fingertip.
The blue cap is for
fingerstick testing only.
A new drum has a blue
ring that does not move.
A used drum has two visible red
stripes and the blue ring can rotate
on the white drum. You cannot insert
a used drum into the lancet device.
