The Accu-Chek Compact Plus meter may be used by people with diabetes to test their own blood glucose as well as for blood glucose determination by healthcare practitioners in a professional setting.
Preparing The Lancing Device
The Accu-Chek Softclix Plus lancing device allows virtually pain-free collection of blood from a fingertip or earlobe. You can choose one of 11 different penetration depth settings to suit your own skin type. You can use the lancing device either docked with the meter, or undocked.
The lancing device has a plunger at the top. This plunger has three functions:
- Priming the lancet
- Triggering the lancet to collect blood
- Ejecting the used lancet
You can perform all of these functions using just one hand. To activate a function, just press the plunger down.
The cap at the lower end of the lancing device rotates. Use this “Comfort Dial” to set the penetration depth.
Only use Accu-Chek Softclix lancets in your Accu-Chek Softclix Plus lancing device. Using any other lancets may damage the lancing device or impair its function.
Undocking The Lancing Device From The Meter
- Push the slide button in the direction indicated by the arrow and hold it there.
- Withdraw the lancing device in the direction indicated by the arrow.
Docking The Lancing Device Onto The Meter
- Hold the meter so it is horizontal, with the recess for docking the lancing device pointing upwards.
- Place the flat face of the lancing device on the lower end of the recess, with the plunger facing towards the slide button.
- Slide the lancing device forward along the meter in the direction indicated by the arrow, until it locks with an audible CLICK. The guides along the inside of the recess must engage with the grooves along the lancing device.
For more information on how to use your lancing device, please see your Accu-Chek Softclix Plus User’s Manual.
