Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are Softclix lancets compatible with other lancing devices?

A: No — Accu-Chek Softclix Lancets are designed specifically for the Accu-Chek Softclix lancing device. Using them with other devices may result in incorrect fit, inaccurate depth settings or potential injury. Always use the correct lancet for your lancing device.

Q: How often should I change my lancet?

A: Lancets should ideally be changed with every finger prick. Reusing lancets causes the tip to become dull and barbed, which increases pain, skin trauma and infection risk. Fresh lancets provide the sharpest, most comfortable poke and reduce the risk of contamination.

Q: Are Accu-Chek Softclix lancets subsidised in New Zealand?

A: Lancets may be available on prescription for people with diabetes in New Zealand. PHARMAC subsidises certain diabetes supplies for eligible patients. Ask your doctor for a prescription or speak to our pharmacist about your eligibility.

Q: How do I dispose of used lancets safely?

A: Used lancets are sharps and must be disposed of in an approved sharps container — never in household rubbish. Many pharmacies including Pakuranga Pharmacy offer sharps disposal services. Contact your local council or pharmacy for details on sharps disposal in your area.
