Acti-Lance Safety Lancet 23 June 2008
Acti-Lance Features & Benefits
Key Features of Safety Lancets 1.Easy to handle: intuitive activation, low firing force, no lancet loading required, 3 step operation only 2. Minimized pain: ultra sharp and silicone coated needle, double spring mechanism to eliminate needle vibrations 3. Sufficient to lance once: different color-coded versions, right needle exposure length, adequate blood flow 4. Safe: trully disposable, self-destructive device, sterilized, reliable sterility protector
Easy to handle • No pre-loading required – one less step in comparison to Unistik2 • Intuitive handling with the top push button, activation by thumb or index finger possible • Stable grip within the hand • Optimal skin contact area size and shape for precise targeting • Ideal size & lightweight 1. Twist off & pull out the safety tab 2. Press the top button Minimal training for new users
Sufficient to lance once • Ultimate needle exposure length control (right penetration depth) • Different color-coded versions for different skin type and test applications (low flow, medium flow, high flow) • Adequate blood flow confirmed in clinical blood flow studies
Minimum Pain & Tissue Damage • Ultra sharp, tri-bevel, electro-polished needle • Long primary bevel to reduce tissue damage • Reduced vibrationsthrough tight linear needle tracking system • Maximal speed of needle penetration and no multisticks thanks to separate return spring • Low puncture force confirmed in QC tests (Product Claims) • Favorable products ratings for pain assessment (Clinical Studies) 28G needle Puncture Force Test
Puncture Force Comparison Source: Extract from the HTL’s comprehensive Puncture Force Studies
Puncture Movie • tight needle carrier tracking • lack of needle vibrations and multiple sticks • high speed of puncture and retraction
Safety engineered • No reloading possible • 100% assurance of needle retraction thanks to return spring and correct energy balance • Multiple stickseliminated thanks to return spring & correct energy balance • Self/accidental activation prevention system on the safety tab • Activation indicator to distinguish whether the device has been used • Reliable sterility – safety tab, Gamma irradiation, good results of biological testing (NAMSA) Drive spring Safety wings Returnspring
