4.3.2 Obtaining blood
All the fingertips and both the earlobes are suitable for obtaining blood.
Certain fingers can be unsuitable if, for example, a skin or fingernail
infection is present. We recommend obtaining capillary blood from the
side of the fingertip, as this causes the least amount of pain.
You can choose the penetration depth from a possible 11 settings
ranging from 0.5 to 5.5. Your chosen penetration depth is visible in the
window, e.g.:
The larger the number, the greater the penetration depth.
The half-settings – e.g. 2.5 – are identified by a dot. The setting 2.5 is
set when the dot is between 2 and 3 in the window. For technical
reasons the setting 5.5 is not identified by a dot. Setting 5.5 is set when
you rotate the cap beyond setting 5 and the cap snaps into place.
