5 Setting the puncture depth:
You can preset six different puncture depths on the lancing
device by turning the cap. A small bar means a shallow
puncture depth, and a large bar means a deep puncture
depth.
The difference in puncture depth between the smallest and
largest click position is approx. 2 millimetres
• Small bar (1 to 2): Delicate or thin skin
• Medium bar (3 to 4): Normal skin
• Large bar (5 to 6): Thick or rough skin
Turn the cap to the required click position until the arrow in-
dicates the desired puncture depth.
