Healthcare professionals must observe additionally the directions
in Chapter 10 "Blood glucose testing in a multi-patient setting –
Information for healthcare professionals".
The Accu-Chek Softclix Plus finger pricker is intended for patient
self-monitoring by a single person.
It must not be used to collect blood in a multi-patient setting as it
does not incorporate any features to guard against cross-infec-
tion.
Any object coming into contact with human blood is a potential
source of infection (see: Clinical and Laboratory Standards Insti-
tute: Protection of Laboratory Workers from Occupationally
