sterile lancets

[charlie1950]

Hello
I was diagnosed as type 2 in 2014 and prescribed metformin.
At a recent meeting I was given an accu-chek monitor I soon ran out of lancets and test strips so I purchased some online.
The thing that concerns me is that the fastclix lancets which are 6 in a drum came loose in a cardboard box , is this normal and safe to use or should they be contained in separate sterile packaging.

Thank You .

I bought a box of four Fastclix lancets from my pharmacist and they were loose in the box. Multiclix lancets are in a plastic container in the box.

Nothing to worry about as far as I am concerned.

Mine have always just been in a cardboard box, I think they have a little shroud in the drum maybe keeping them clean.

Just make sure the twist off top is on of course.

Fastclix and Multiclix lancets come in a drum of six lancets, which fit into the lancing device.

No twisting bits off and disposing of single lancets with them.
