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 level 1 or 2 to see if the
amount of blood obtained is enough to carry out the test. Thicker
skin will require a higher level.
Recommended Penetration Settings
• 0.5-1.5 for soft skin
• 2-3.5 for normal skin
• 4-5.5 for thicker skin
