Medwatch fields d9 and h3 updated.The accu-chek softclix lancing device was received for investigation.The investigation confirmed the lancet was protruding past the cap before use.The test lancets could not be inserted properly in the customer's lancing device.The lancing device was disassembled and investigation with a microscope showed that the lancet holder was handicapped by a foreign object (tissue) causing the inserted lancets to be incorrectly fixed into the lancet holder, thereby causing the reported failure.The foreign object was removed and the lancing device worked per specifications.There were no other issues noted.The investigation determined the event was due to a handling error (foreign object in the lancet holder).The investigation did not identify a product problem.
