Setting The Penetration Depth - Accu-Chek Mobile User Manual

Setting the penetration depth

You can set the penetration depth of the lancet to 11 different levels. The levels are divided into 6 half-
settings and 5 whole settings (0.5–5.5, 0.5 is the lowest, 5.5 is the highest). Set the penetration depth
suitable for you. This allows virtually pain-free collection of blood and control over the amount of blood
needed. The penetration depth indicator on the finger pricker (silver square) indicates the current
kim_manual_0430
penetration depth setting. The higher the number, the greater the penetration depth. The half-settings are
located between the numbers.
If you have no experience with using this finger pricker, we recommend a medium penetration depth
setting such as 3.
