PRODUCT DETAILS
Accu-Chek Safe-T-Pro Plus Blood Lancets are sterile, single-use, disposable lancing devices from Roche Diabetes Care for capillary blood sampling in glucose monitoring. The T-shaped device needs no loading or priming: twist the sterility cap to remove it, set one of three adjustable depths — 1.3 mm, 1.8 mm or 2.3 mm — and press the release button to activate. Roche notes the 1.8 mm setting as suitable for neonates and children under 1 year. A 0.63 mm (23 G), 3-facet, siliconized needle supports gentle lancing. Sold as 200 lancets.
