It is important to dispose of used lancets so they cannot cause injury. Whilst used Accu-Chek FastClix lancet drums can safely be disposed of in household waste, some local councils provide a sharps disposal service by supplying individuals with sharps bins and collecting them when they are full. Check with the local council which disposal services are available.
Many NHS organisations have sharps policies outlining their requirements for provisions in patients’ homes.

Safety advice: The Accu-Chek FastClix finger pricker is intended for patient self-monitoring by an individual person only. It must not be used to collect blood in a multipatient setting as it does not incorporate any features to guard against cross infection.
You must not insert the lancet drum into the finger pricker whilst pressing the plunger or hold the finger pricker with the plunger resting on a surface such as a table top. This could release a lancet and inadvertently cause an injury.
Please refer to the user manual and how-to videos for more information about how to use the Accu-Chek Mobile meter.
