| "The proposed design includes a reusable, internal lancet that is continuously sterilized using ultraviolet light. On a scale of 1-5 (5 being most important), how important is a self-contained, reusable lancet that does not need to be changed after every test?....Are you concerned with the fact that the lancet is reusable and self-sterilizing?"
If you will read recent discussion on this forum you will see that sterility is not important to many people. The question may be assuming importance is attached where it is not. Ask me if I'd pay extra for a feature I don't think necessary. Few of us are immunocompromised. Presently, lancets are not packaged to guarantee sterility, so changing them out does not give a sterile puncture. I think more people change lancets to get a sharp one than to get a "clean" one. Sharpness is my concern, not sterility.
