Lancing Depth, Depth Settings
Which depth setting should be used?
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.
