Can I continue to use Accu-Chek Softclix Plus lancing device if I dropped the device?
Dropping the lancing device with a lancet inserted may loosen the lancet in its holder. In that case the lancet is no longer properly lodged and cannot be used to obtain blood. In rare cases the lancet may even protrude from the cap. In a case such as this you might injure yourself on the lancet. Therefore, take great care not to touch the front of the cap. Should you drop the lancing device, please pick it up with care. Remove the cap from the lancing device. Take care to avoid the lancet so as not to injure yourself. Always eject and dispose of the lancet if the lancing device has been dropped. Afterwards reattach the cap without inserting a lancet. Press the plunger all the way down twice. Only after this should a lancet be inserted.
