Use only as directed. Consult your healthcare professional for advice. Accu-Chek lancing devices are for single patient use only. The same device must not be used on multiple patients. Instead of plunging the lancet needle into the skin, when the activation button is pushed, a vacuum is created in the tip, drawing the skin up toward the lancet. This creates separation between the layer of skin where the blood capillaries are and the nerve endings. When the lancet is released, it punctures the skin without reaching the nerves, avoiding causing pain. These single-use safety lancets use Comfort Zone Technology® for a less painful blood sampling. When pressed against the skin, a series of 8 raised dots on the platform stimulate the nerve endings. This sends a powerful message of comfort to the brain – masking the weaker pain stimulus from the lancet. Unistik 3 Normal (Yellow) specification: Mianowska, B., et al. (2020).

And the orange Pip is a 28 G needle at 1.8 mm depth.Lancets are designed to only be used once, and then disposed of in a safe way. Using a lancet just once will make it more blunt, and therefore more painful to use. There are a variety of ways of getting rid of used lancets safely as they can carry infection. Some companies sell sharps boxes, and GPs can even prescribe sharps bins to dispose of lancets safely.
