For this purpose the Accu-Chek Softclix finger
pricker can be set to different penetration depths
ranging from 0.5 to 5.5. They are indicated on
the cap by the numbers 1 to 5. The additional
intermediate settings marked with dots enable a
particularly precise adjustment of Accu-Chek Softclix
finger pricker to suit individual skin type.
The markings on the device show the depth of
penetration selected. Penetration depth can be
altered by turning the front part of the cap. You
will hear the cap click into position, indicating
adjustment to a new depth and simultaneously
preventing any accidental alteration of penetration
depth.
Number 0.5 corresponds to the smallest depth of
penetration and number 5.5 the greatest. When
selecting the individual penetration depth it is
recommended to start with setting 1 or 2 to see if
the amount of blood obtained is enough to carry out
the test. Thicker skin requires a higher setting.
Recommended Penetration Settings
• 0.5-1.5 for soft skin
• 2-3.5 for normal skin
• 4-5.5 for thicker skin
