Setting the penetration depth

Penetration depth 

indicator

Half settings

You can set the penetration depth of the lancet to 1 of 

11 possible settings (0.5–5.5). The silver line (penetra-

tion depth indicator) on the 

fi

nger pricker indicates the 

current penetration depth setting. The higher the num-

ber the deeper the penetration. The half settings for the 

penetration depth are indicated by a dot. The penetra-

tion depth 1.5 is set when the line points to the dot 

between 1 and 2. 

If you have no experience of using this 

fi

nger pricker, 

we recommend that you start with a low penetration 

depth setting such as 1.

Rotate the cap of the 

fi

nger pricker until the de-

sired penetration depth is level with the indicator.

  Do not lance your
