Frequently asked questions
Does the Acti-Lance have superior safety features?
Yes, the Htl-Strefa Acti-Lance is designed with multiple advanced, integrated mechanisms to ensure guaranteed safety for both the patient and the user during blood sampling.These features focus on preventing needlestick injuries and cross-contamination:
- Prevents Reuse: The lancet incorporates a self-destructive mechanism that ensures the device is strictly single-use and cannot be reused after activation, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination.
- Complete Retraction: A robust double spring mechanism ensures high puncture speed and immediate, complete retraction of the needle after the sample is taken, which prevents accidental needlestick injuries.
- Guaranteed Sterility: Each unit is gamma sterilized and protected by a secure twist-and-pull tab seal, ensuring reliable, tamper-proof sterilization protection until the moment of use.
Is the safety lancet designed for enhanced comfort?
Yes, the Htl-Strefa Acti-Lance Safety Lancet is specifically engineered to enhance patient comfort during capillary blood sampling.
This is achieved through several features designed to minimize pain and discomfort:
- Silicone-Coated Needles: These needles ensure a smoother, less traumatic entry into the skin.
- Low Firing Force: The intuitive push-button activation requires minimal force, reducing the physical sensation of the puncture.
- Rapid Puncture Speed: A robust double spring mechanism guarantees a high puncture speed, facilitating quick, clean penetration that minimizes overall discomfort.
Is Acti-Lance operation intuitive?
Yes, the Htl-Strefa Acti-Lance is engineered for intuitive and comfortable operation, streamlining the blood sampling process for healthcare professionals.
Key features that ensure ease of use include:
- Intuitive Two-Step Operation: Activation is simple using a push-button system.
- Familiar “T” Grip: The device uses a “T” grip, mimicking a familiar, syringe-like experience for improved handling.
- Low Firing Force: Activation requires minimal effort, making the procedure quick and straightforward while enhancing patient comfort.
Are different needle gauges and blades available?
Yes, the Acti-Lance Safety Lancet is offered in various configurations, defined by color coding, to provide the appropriate gauge or blade for different sampling needs and required blood volumes.
These configurations vary in needle type, gauge, and penetration depth:
| Type | Color | Gauge/Blade | Depth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lite | Purple | 28G Needle | 1.5 mm |
| Universal | Blue | 23G Needle | 1.8 mm |
| Special | Yellow | 17G Blade | 2.0 mm |
Selecting the correct size ensures optimal patient comfort and adequate blood flow for the procedure.
What precise puncture depths are available?
The Acti-Lance Safety Lancet is available in three distinct, color-coded configurations, each providing a precise puncture depth and corresponding gauge to suit various capillary blood sampling needs:
| Depth | Gauge/Blade | Color Code |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5 mm | 28G Needle | Purple |
| 1.8 mm | 23G Needle | Blue |
| 2.0 mm | 17G Blade | Yellow |
These specific configurations ensure the correct needle exposure length and optimal blood flow capacity for the procedure.
Does the double spring mechanism maximize safety?
Yes, the double spring mechanism is a core component of the Acti-Lance Safety Lancet’s design, ensuring superior safety and comfortable performance. It contributes to maximum protection for both the patient and the healthcare professional.
Key safety features include:
- Immediate Retraction: The double spring mechanism ensures a very high puncture speed and guarantees the needle or blade retracts immediately and completely back into the device housing after activation.
- No Reuse Risk: A dedicated self-destructive mechanism is integrated into the device, rendering it unusable after a single draw, which completely eliminates the risk of accidental reuse or cross-contamination.
- Sterile Protection: Each lancet is Gamma sterilized and secured by a twist-and-pull tab, maintaining its sterile condition until the moment of use.
Are the Acti-Lance safety lancets color-coded?
Yes, the Htl-Strefa Acti-Lance Safety Lancets are color-coded to simplify selection and ensure the appropriate needle exposure length and blood flow capacity for various sampling needs.
This system allows users to easily match the lancet configuration to the required procedure, promoting precise and effective blood sampling:
| Color | Needle/Blade Gauge | Puncture Depth |
|---|---|---|
| Purple | 28G Needle | 1.5 mm |
| Blue | 23G Needle | 1.8 mm |
| Yellow | 17G Blade | 2.0 mm |
What packaging sizes are offered?
The Acti-Lance Safety Lancets are packaged to accommodate both small and large volume needs. You can purchase these sterile, single-use devices in boxes of two primary sizes:
- 100 units per box
- 200 units per box
For higher volume requirements, case quantities are also available, typically containing 10 boxes per case, with specific pallet configurations detailed for certain variants.
Does this safety lancet prevent reuse?
Yes, the Htl-Strefa Acti-Lance is designed strictly for single use and features a robust safety system to prevent reuse and ensure patient protection.
Key features guaranteeing non-reuse include:
- Self-Destructive Mechanism: The lancet incorporates a self-destructive mechanism that permanently disables the device immediately after activation, rendering it physically impossible to use again.
- Secure Needle Retraction: A rapid, high-speed double spring mechanism ensures the needle fully and permanently retracts into the device housing right after puncture, eliminating the risk of accidental exposure or injury after use.
This design ensures sterile and reliable blood sampling every time.
What is this safety lancet used for?
The Acti-Lance Safety Lancet is designed for single-use capillary blood sampling in a safe and comfortable manner.
It is ideal for various clinical and personal settings, including:
- Clinical blood collection procedures.
- Point-of-care testing (POCT).
- Home glucose monitoring.
This device prioritizes patient experience with silicone-coated needles and enhances safety through a double spring mechanism that ensures high puncture speed and complete, guaranteed needle retraction.
