Accu-Chek Fastclix Kit
Accu-Chek Fastclix Kit – Advanced Lancing Device for Blood Glucose Testing
The Accu-Chek Fastclix Kit is an innovative lancing device designed to make blood glucose testing as comfortable and convenient as possible. Unlike traditional lancing devices that require individual lancet changes, the Fastclix uses a 6-lancet drum that advances automatically with each use — no direct lancet handling required, reducing the risk of needlestick injury and making lancet changes faster and more hygienic.
The 5-speed depth adjustment allows personalisation for different skin types and fingertip sensitivity, helping to minimise discomfort with every test. Available from Pakuranga Pharmacy.
Key Features
- 6-lancet drum — no individual lancet handling required
- Automatically advances to the next lancet after each use
- 5-speed depth adjustment for different skin types
- Virtually pain-free testing experience
- Includes lancets to get started
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the 6-lancet drum work?
A: The Accu-Chek Fastclix drum contains 6 pre-loaded lancets. After each lancing, simply twist the drum to advance to the next fresh lancet. When all 6 are used, remove the drum and replace it with a new one. You never touch the lancet itself, which significantly reduces needlestick injury risk.
Q: Are Accu-Chek Fastclix lancets available separately?
A: Yes — Accu-Chek Fastclix lancets (drum refills) are available separately from Pakuranga Pharmacy. They come in boxes of 102 lancets (17 drums × 6 lancets each). Always use Accu-Chek Fastclix branded lancets to ensure compatibility with the device.
Q: Can I use the Fastclix on sites other than my fingertip?
A: The Fastclix device can be used on alternative sites such as the forearm or palm when using the appropriate depth setting. However, fingertip testing is generally more accurate, especially when blood glucose levels are changing rapidly (e.g. after meals, exercise or insulin). Consult your diabetes nurse or pharmacist for guidance on alternative site testing.
Q: How do I choose the right depth setting?
A: Start with a middle depth setting (3) and adjust based on your results. If you are not getting enough blood, increase the depth. If the puncture is painful or bruising occurs, decrease the depth. People with thicker or callused fingertips may need a higher setting.
