General questions

The most comfortable setting of your Accu-Chek FastClix lancing device will depend on a few things:

• Your skin – softer, thinner skin requires a shallower setting than thicker skin.
• The required blood sample – the more blood you require, the higher the setting you'll need.
• The optimal penetration depth is a combination of both. Start with a low setting when using the device for the first time. Adjust to a higher setting until the blood volume is correct.
