Accu-Chek® Fastclix Lancets for the FastClix Lancing Device

What Accu-Chek® FastClix Lancets Are and How They Work

Accu-Chek Fastclix Lancets are sterile, single-use lancets housed in a 6-count drum for use with the Accu-Chek FastClix lancing device. Each click advances a fresh lancet, so you do not handle needles. The design helps reduce accidental needle sticks and keeps fingerstick testing quick and discreet. These lancets are 30-gauge, and the device offers adjustable depth settings to match different skin types.

You can find boxes labeled 102 lancets (17 drums) and larger multi-packs. The Accu-Chek FastClix system is intended for capillary blood sampling from the fingertip. It is for one person’s use only. Do not share your lancing device or drums with anyone.

YouDrugstore is a licensed Canadian pharmacy in Manitoba that follows Canadian pharmacy standards, and our pharmacists review prescriptions before dispensing prescription medicines. We also carry OTC diabetes supplies like FastClix lancets at Canadian prices, with friendly customer-service chat during posted office hours.

We partner with licensed, vetted international pharmacies to source authentic brand products and a wide range of options at fair prices.

Dosage and Usage

Use FastClix lancets only with the Accu-Chek® FastClix lancing device (including Model 2). They are not compatible with Softclix or third-party devices.

• Wash and dry your hands. Warm them to increase blood flow.
• Insert a new FastClix lancet drum into the lancing device. Close the cap until it clicks.
• Set the depth on the device. Start low, then increase if needed.
• Place the device on the side of your fingertip. Press the release button.
• Allow a small drop of blood to form. Apply it to your test strip as directed by your meter.
• Advance to the next lancet by sliding the lever until it clicks. A window on the device shows remaining lancets.
• Dispose of used drums in a sharps container or a puncture-resistant household bottle with a tight lid.

Frequency of change: use each lancet once. Using a lancet more than once may dull the tip and increase pain or risk of skin injury.

If you forget to advance the drum after a test, advance to a new lancet before the next fingerstick. If you skip a planned check, resume your usual schedule at the next test time recommended by your care plan.

• Storage: keep lancet boxes at room temperature. Avoid moisture and direct heat.
• Travel: keep devices and lancets in your carry-on. Pack the original box if possible. Bring a small sharps container or a rigid, sealable bottle.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Benefits and Savings

The FastClix drum reduces handling of bare lancets. Advancing a new lancet takes one click, which saves time between tests. The 30-gauge needles and depth control support gentler fingersticks. The enclosed design helps reduce exposure risk when changing lancets.

Ordering from YouDrugstore is simple. You can buy brand and compatible supplies at Canadian prices and often save 60–80% compared with typical US pricing. Multi-pack boxes can lower your per-month cost, and you can set simple reorder reminders in your account to avoid running out.

You benefit from support as well. Customer-service chat is available during posted office hours, and pharmacists can address medication questions.

Side Effects and Safety

Most people tolerate fingertip testing well. Minor effects can happen, especially with repeated tests.

• Common: brief pain at the puncture site, small drop of blood, mild tenderness.
• Less common: bruising, callus formation with frequent testing at the same site.
• Rare but serious: infection at the site, significant bleeding in those with bleeding disorders or on anticoagulants.

Reduce risk by rotating fingers and using the side of the fingertip, not the pad. Adjust the depth to the lowest setting that yields a drop. Do not share your lancing device or drums. Always use a fresh lancet for each test. Dispose of used drums in a puncture-resistant container. If you notice signs of infection such as redness, warmth, swelling, or pus, seek medical care.

Onset Time

Fingerstick blood sampling is immediate. After you press the release button, the device lances the skin and a drop forms within seconds. No pre-activation time is needed beyond washing and drying your hands.

Compare With Alternatives

FastClix lancets work only with the Accu-Chek® FastClix lancing device. If you use a different Accu-Chek device, you may need alternative lancets. For example, Softclix devices use a different lancet style. If you prefer that system, consider Accu Chek® Softclix Lancets.

Users who are invested in a OneTouch ecosystem may pair their meter with the matching lancing device and OneTouch lancets. If you use a Verio meter, you may also be shopping for compatible strips such as One Touch® Verio Test Strips.

If you test with an Accu-Chek meter like Aviva or Guide, you may need test strips in addition to lancets. See Accu Chek® Aviva Test Strips for compatible glucose testing.

Gauge, depth control, and device ergonomics vary across systems. People with thicker skin may need deeper settings. Those with sensitive skin may prefer finer gauges. Choose the device that gives a reliable drop with the least discomfort.

Combination Therapy

FastClix lancets are part of a complete home glucose monitoring setup. You will also need a blood glucose meter and compatible test strips. Many users pair Accu-Chek® devices with Aviva or Guide strips, while others prefer OneTouch systems such as One Touch® Verio Test Strips. If you are using an Accu-Chek meter, you can review Accu Chek® Aviva Test Strips to complete your kit. Follow your care plan for testing frequency and targets.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

FastClix lancets suit people who want a quick, enclosed lancet system with minimal handling. The drum holds six lancets, which is helpful for frequent testing or testing on the go. The device offers 11 depth settings, so you can tailor the puncture to your skin.

To reduce pain, test on the sides of fingertips and rotate fingers. Warm hands with water before lancing. Keep the device clean and replace worn caps as directed by the manufacturer. Do not use on alternative sites unless your device and care plan allow it.

You can save by choosing larger counts, such as 102’s or multi-packs. Combine supplies in one order to reduce shipping cost per item. Turn on reorder reminders in your account so you always have drums on hand. For current offers and bulk options, visit our accu chek fastclix coupon page.
