Hi Shivas, Glad the video was helpful.

Hi E Tow, Thanks for writing! Agreed with your comments on twist cap and use of Sharps bin. The actual intent of making this video was to address a practical scenario. Most often users tend to forget removing lancet after test and few wish to reuse couple of times more. In these cases the twist cap is lost. Having said this in many occasions user either poke fingers or break the device itself while removing device top cover. Keeping this in mind the video shows a safe practice to hold top cover with both thumbs while uninstalling. Also the video shows to pull down ejector thus keeping lancet facing downwards so it doesn’t take a flight. Tried to address pain points from personal experience which felt could help other users.

Hi Geeta, Thanks for watching!

Hey Janet, You're welcome! :-)

Great to know video was useful. Happy to help :-)

Hi Runa, Glad to know video was helpful. Cheers :-)

Hi Alex, Can you please check if rotating cap and setting needle penetration depth to higher value helps. If the cap mechanism is broken then it will be difficult to fix. You need to get a new lancing device.

please fix in point 4, in hospitals they generally keep in 4 point to go into the skin

Hi, Glad video was helpful!

You are welcome 😊👍

Hi Raghuram, Sry to miss this section. The Softclix device offers 11 penetration depth options. The penetration depth is 0.8 mm at the first setting and increases by 0.15 mm with each setting. The settings are shown on the cap by the numbers 1 to 5 with additional levels marked with dots to enable you to precisely adjust to your individual skin type. Select the first setting, 0.5, for the smallest depth of penetration, and the last setting, 5.5, for the greatest depth of penetration. Select 0.5 to 1.5 for softer-than-average skin, 2 to 3.5 for average skin, and 4 to 5.5 for harder-than-average or calloused skin. Setting 0.5 - 0.80 Penetration Depth (mm) Setting 1 - 0.95 Penetration Depth (mm) Setting 1.5 - 1.10 Penetration Depth (mm) Setting 2 - 1.25 Penetration Depth (mm) Setting 2.5 - 1.40 Penetration Depth (mm) Setting 3 - 1.55 Penetration Depth (mm) Setting 3.5 - 1.70 Penetration Depth (mm) Setting 4 - 1.85 Penetration Depth (mm) Setting 4.5 - 2.0 Penetration Depth (mm) Setting 5 - 2.15 Penetration Depth (mm) Setting 5.5 - 2.30 Penetration Depth (mm)

@@bicyclecolours8988 Good explanation...!Thank you for immediate response..! You please edit your video attaching the superscribed info...!

Hi Ravi, with every use the needle lose sharpness so if you are sensitive to pain then can hurt. If there is no skin or blood infection then can decide to use needle couple of times more provided the needle is used in a very sterile conditions. Please note as per user instructions it is recommended to use needle once.

Hi Shankar, I hope your father doesn’t have any skin or blood infection, until then it’s safe. Always use a new, sterile needle and never share. Keep in mind that cleaning by any means does not make re-using the needle risk-free.

It's very risky for spreading disease, please use a new Lancet.

Hi Arun, I hope that person doesn’t have any skin or blood infection, until then it’s safe. To keep yourself safe from poking next time pls follow practice shown in video - hold top cover with both thumbs while uninstalling and pull down ejector thus keeping needle facing downwards so it doesn’t take a flight.

Hi Biswarup, sorry... the Microlet lancets cannot be used in Accu Chek Softclix.

Hi, You need to use the same brand Accu Chek to use in this device.

Hi SKR, The needles are for single use. These will loose sharpness after each use and may cause pain over repeated use.

Hi, There seems to be an slip between cam and ratchet mechanism and causing no loading. Sorry to say if you try to open and fix then probably not able to put back again due to factory assembly. Also for this device there is no spare or service availability.

@@bicyclecolours8988 okay thanks

Hi Premlata, The Accu Chek pin cannot be used in Dr Trust lancing device. But you can buy 'Accu Chek Softclix' lancing device separate for lancing purpose and use Dr Trust Glucometer for sugar measurement.

Hi Shazia, I hope your mom doesn’t have any skin or blood infection, until then it’s safe. To keep yourself safe from poking next time pls follow practice shown in video - hold top cover with both thumbs while uninstalling and pull down ejector thus keeping needle facing downwards so it doesn’t take a flight.

@@bicyclecolours8988 thanxx alot🙂

Hi, Sorry.. will soon upload subtitles. For your quick understanding for time being: At 00:42 - Press the plunger. At 000:52 - Press the yellow button. If you have any other questions at any part of the video please do let me know.

@@bicyclecolours8988 Thank you!!! 😊

Hi Diya, the lancet needle is disposable and pen is reusable.

Hi Jay, This device is only capable of having only one lancet at a time.

@@bicyclecolours8988 hmm so is it the Fastclix that lets you load more than one?

Hi Jay, Yes, Fastclix has a drum with 6 preloaded lancets.

@@bicyclecolours8988 thanks gotcha

Hi Gabriel, The needles are for single use. These will loose sharpness after each use and may cause pain over repeated use.

You are welcome! Glad the video was helpful :-)
