Accu-Chek Compact Plus is a unique new blood glucose testing system comprising a meter with an integrated 17-strip drum, plus an attached lancing device. The drum eliminates handling of test strips which reduces testing steps and improves hygiene. The drum contains a barcode for convenient auto-coding (most similar products require manual entry of strip details for calibration). The testing process is further streamlined by the attached lancing device which can be used detached if preferred. For maximum comfort, the device uses the proven Softclix lancets with eleven penetration depth settings.
