Lancing Depth, Depth Settings
All our consumer lancing systems, all models of the Accu-Chek FastClix, Accu-Chek Multiclix and Accu-Chek Softclix, offer 11 depths, so that our users can conveniently set the depth according to their individual skin type.
The SULD Accu-Chek Safe-T-Pro Plus offers three depths to offer more flexibility concerning the required blood sample size.
The Accu-Chek Safe-T-Pro Uno offers one depth, as it is mainly used for blood glucose monitoring in professional set up.
The penetration depth ranges and depths of each step vary slightly from product to product. Please contact the International Product Managers for more detailed information:

The required penetration depth depends on the following:
The skin: The softer and thinner your skin is, the shallower the depth setting should be.
The required blood sample: The more blood you require, the higher the chosen setting.
The optimal depth setting is a combination of both. When using the device for the first time, a low setting should be used. Only if the obtained blood sample is too small, should a higher setting be dialed.
