The Accu-Chek FastClix Finger Pricker
• A used lancet drum has a visible red stripe on the white end.
• You cannot reuse a used lancet drum.
• Do not remove the lancet drum until you have used all 6 lancets.
• The penetration depth indicator on the comfort dial shows the current depth setting.
The higher the number, the deeper the penetration. The best depth setting is the
lowest number that lets you get enough blood for a test. Try di erent depth settings to
find the best one.
• For soft skin, we suggest a depth setting of 2. For thick skin, try a higher depth setting.
