FAQs
Are Accu-Chek Safe T Pro Plus Lancets reusable?
No, these lancets are designed for single use only to ensure safety and hygiene. Using a lancet more than once can increase the risk of infection and injury.
How do I choose the correct depth setting?
Choose the depth setting based on the patient's skin type and the required blood sample volume. Thinner skin may require a shallower setting, while thicker skin may require a deeper setting.
How do I dispose of used lancets?
Used lancets must be immediately disposed of in a designated sharps container to prevent accidental needle sticks.
Where can I purchase Accu-Chek Safe T Pro Plus Lancets?
These lancets are available from medical supply distributors and pharmacies that carry Accu-Chek products.
What is the shelf life of the lancets?
The expiration date is printed on the lancet packaging. Do not use lancets past their expiration date.
What should I do if I accidentally get pricked by a used lancet?
Seek immediate medical attention. Report the incident to your supervisor, and follow the established protocols for needlestick injuries.
Is there a way to avoid a painful lancing experience?
Use proper technique, choose an appropriate depth setting, and ensure the patient's finger is warm before the procedure to increase blood flow and reduce discomfort.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty obtaining a blood sample.
Ensure the correct depth setting is selected for the patient's skin type. Try a deeper setting if the sample is insufficient. Also, make sure the patient is properly hydrated.
Lancet fails to activate.
Ensure the lancet is correctly positioned and that no obstructions are preventing activation. Check the expiration date.
