Using the Accu-Chek FastClix finger pricker

WARNING

· Accu-Chek FastClix finger pricker is intended for patient self monitoring by an individual person only. It must not be used to test blood glucose from more than one person as it does not incorporate any features to guard against crossinfection.

1. Wash your hands with warm water and soap before you obtain blood.
Dry your hands.

2. Remove the cap from the finger pricker by pulling it
straight off.

3. Insert a new lancet drum white end first into the finger pricker.

· Do not insert a lancet drum and press the release button at the same time.

· Do not insert a lancet drum with the release button resting on a surface, for example, a table top. This could release a lancet which could inadvertently prick you.

4. The lancet drum is properly inserted when it is completely inside the finger pricker, until it clicks firmly into place.
Replace the cap.

5. Rotate the cap until the desired penetration depth lines up with the indicator. Start at 2 or 3. For tougher skin dial to a higher number.

6. Press the finger pricker firmly against the selected puncture site.
Press the release button all the way down, the lancet is released and it penetrates the skin.

Test your blood sugar immediately after you obtained blood.

Four steps to measure your blood sugar

1. Always wash your hands with warm, soapy water and dry them thoroughly before checking your blood sugar. The meter turns on when you insert the strip into the meter. Metallic end of the strip goes in the meter.

2. When a flashing drop
symbol appears, perform a finger prick with the finger pricker.

3. Touch the yellow edge of the test strip to the blood drop. Remove your finger from the test strip when the flashing hourglass symbol appears on the display.

4. The test result appears on the display in less than 4 seconds. The arrow shows if your test result falls above, within, or below the target range. The target range can be individualised to suit your personal therapy goals.
