Hygiene, Sterility, Lancet Reuse, Disposal of Used Consumables
How can I see if a lancet or lancing drum is used?
The single lancets, Accu-Chek Softclix and Autoclix: The single lancets have a protective cap to maintain the sterility of the needle tip. If the cap is missing, the lancet is either used or no longer sterile. Only use lancets with an intact protective cap in place.
The lancet drums, Accu-Chek Multiclix, Accu-Chek FastClix: A used lancet drum has a red stripe visible. As an extra safety measure, used lancet drums cannot be re-used in the lancing devices.
