The Accu-Chek Softclix is a premium blood glucose lancing device engineered by Roche Diabetes Care to collect capillary blood samples with minimal discomfort. It is a standalone lancing component often bundled inside comprehensive starter packs like the Accu-Chek Softclix Glucose Monitor Kit alongside a matching meter and test strips.
Key Product Features:
Clixmotion Technology:
This specialized mechanism guides the lancet movement with absolute precision. It completely eliminates painful side-to-side vibrations and needle oscillations.
11 Depth Settings: The custom comfort dial allows you to rotate the cap. You can adjust penetration depth from 0.8 mm to 2.3 mm based on your skin thickness.
Thin Gauge Needles: It uses specialized 28-gauge, bevel-cut lancets. This creates a significantly smaller entry point for a smoother prick.
Hygienic Ejection: Features an integrated push-slider lancet ejector. This allows hands-free disposal of used needles directly into a sharps container.
Step-by-Step Usage Guide:
Follow these operational steps detailed on the official Accu-Chek Support Page to ensure proper sample collection:
Insert Lancet: Pull off the lancing device cap and push a fresh Accu-Chek Softclix lancet firmly into the holder until it clicks.
Expose Needle: Twist off the plastic protective cap covering the sterile lancet needle.
Replace Cap: Snap the lancing device cap back on, aligning the plastic notch correctly.
Select Depth: Rotate the comfort dial on the cap to match your skin type. (Start at 2 or 3 for average skin).
