The Accu-Chek LinkAssist has been designed to accommodate the wishes and needs of people with diabetes who prefer automatic insertion. People with dexterity issues or impaired vision may also favour a larger insertion device facilitating easy, quick and virtually painless insertion¹.

If needed, wipe the outside of the Accu-Chek LinkAssist insertion device with a cloth moistened beforehand with water, a mild hand soap or a standard disinfectant (e.g. 70% ethyl alcohol). Do not dip the insertion device into the cleaning fluid. Dry the insertion device thoroughly with a soft, clean cloth.
