General questions

What if no blood is obtained at all?
  • The penetration depth is too shallow. Please select a higher penetration depth setting.
  • The Accu-Chek FastClix finger pricker needs to be pressed firmly against the skin. Check if a lancet is inserted in the finger pricker. 
  • Sometimes the blood does not appear immediately after lancing. Massaging the finger by gently squeezing it towards the fingertip helps to form a drop of blood.
