Using your Accu-Chek Softclix finger pricker

penetration depth. The Accu-Chek Softclix finger
pricker has 11 different depth settings and when
starting it is recommended that you set it to 1 or 2.
Pull off the cap. Insert a new lancet into the
lancet holder and push it in until it clicks.
Remove the protective cap from the lancet with
a twisting motion. Press the Accu-Chek Softclix
cap on again until it clicks.
Press in the priming button until it clicks at the
end of the device. The finger pricker is primed
when a yellow dot appears in the transparent
release button.
Gently press the Accu-Chek Softclix against the
side of the fingertip and press the circular
release button found on the side of the device.
After measuring your blood glucose, pull off
the Accu-Chek Softclix cap and slide the ejector
forwards to remove the lancet and dispose of
it safely.
