Question
Can the Accu-Chek Softclix lancing device be used for alternative site testing?
Alternative site testing is not recommended in all circumstances and may not be suitable for all people with diabetes. Refer to your healthcare professional for advice.
Accu-Chek Softclix can be used for alternative site testing (AST) by using the specially designed AST cap. When performing AST we recommend using the Accu-Chek Softclix lancing device at the:
- Base of the little finger
- Base of the thumb
- Inside of the forearm
Check with your doctor to see if and when AST is suitable for you.
