Product Materials, Bill of Materials
All lancets made out of the medical grade steel (type 1.4301, approved for medical purposes) contain nickel in small percentage. This is also the case for all Roche lancets: Accu-Chek FastClix, Accu-Chek Softclix, and Accu-Chek Multiclix, as well as for the Single-Use Lancing Devices for professional use. This stainless steel may contain small amounts of nickel, on average approximately 10%.
However, the same type of steel is also used in surgical knives, blades, cannulas, pen needles, etc. - all of which penetrate the skin deeper and stay within the skin longer than the Accu-Chek lancet needles, which only stay in the skin for miniscule part of a second.
However, Kobalt is no ingredient of our lancets.
