FAQs
How does Comfort Zone Technology work?
Comfort Zone Technology uses a combination of factors including needle design, depth, and speed to minimize the pain sensation during blood sampling.
Is the needle completely hidden after use?
Yes, the needle automatically retracts into the plastic body of the lancet immediately after it is used, significantly reducing the risk of needlestick injuries.
Can I reuse a Unistik Touch Safety Lancet?
No, these are single-use devices. Reusing a lancet can lead to infection, inaccurate readings, and injury. Always use a new, sterile lancet for each blood sample.
How should I dispose of used lancets?
Used lancets must be disposed of in an approved sharps container immediately after use to prevent injuries and biohazard risks.
What is the shelf life of these lancets?
Unistik Touch Safety Lancets have a defined expiry date indicated on the packaging. It is crucial to use them only before this date to ensure sterility and functionality.
Are these lancets suitable for all types of blood tests?
They are suitable for most routine capillary blood tests, such as blood glucose monitoring. For specific tests requiring larger volumes or unique sample types, consult your healthcare provider.
Troubleshooting
Lancet fails to activate
Ensure the protective cap has been fully removed and that the device is pressed firmly against the desired puncture site before activating.
Insufficient blood sample obtained
Ensure the lancet is activated correctly on a clean, warm finger. If issues persist, consult a healthcare professional. Ensure Comfort Zone Technology activation is complete before withdrawing.
Accidental activation before use
If accidentally activated, do not attempt to re-use. Dispose of the lancet immediately in a sharps container as it is now compromised and unsafe.
