Accu-Chek Aviva Nano
The Accu-Chek Aviva Nano blood glucose monitoring system boasts a smart but simple design. Housing serious style and performance in a small meter, the device is ideal for fast testing.
It’s tiny - at 7cm tall and weighing in at 40g - but the Accu-Chek Aviva Nano from Roche is a real treat when it comes to blood testing. If you have to test, then you might as well use a cool gadget to do so. Small enough to fit in even a child’s pocket, the Nano comes with a state-of-the-art Multiclix lancing device.
The Aviva Nano has a discreet glow in the dark meter display, and includes a proven less painful Multiclix finger pricker incorporating Clixmotion technology.
The Accu-Chek Aviva Nano allows people with diabetes to test in half the steps, with lancets included in a pre-loaded drum. The Nano takes a very small blood sample and the on-board computer can return averages, produce meal markers and set test reminder alarms.

As for the Multiclix, the technical specs say that the 'special cut of the lancets used and their smooth, polished surface means that skin penetration is virtually friction-free and no side-to-side motion for less skin tearing'. I can confirm that the Multiclix is a quantum leap in the very serious world of pricking your own fingers. It has improved safety as it uses a drum of six lancets. Use each lancet once, but only change the drum every 6 tests. Once used, the lancets disappear inside the drum so that no accidents can happen.
No more fiddling with individual lancets. Just pop the drum into the bin once used. Simple!
