erformance Information
Principles of the Procedure:
The CONTOUR
®
blood glucose test is based on
measurement of electrical current caused by the
reaction of glucose with the reagents on the electrode
of the strip. The blood sample is drawn into the tip
of the test strip through capillary action. Glucose in
the sample reacts with FAD glucose dehydrogenase
(FAD-GDH) and potassium ferricyanide. Electrons are
generated, producing a current that is proportional to
the glucose in the sample. After the reaction time, the
glucose concentration in the sample is displayed. No
calculation is required.
System Performance Information:
Intended Use:
The CONTOUR
®
USB system (meter, test strips and
control) is intended for self-testing by people with
diabetes to monitor glucose concentrations in whole
blood. The test provides a quantitative measurement
of glucose in blood from 20 to 600 mg/dL.
CAUTION:
•
For in vitro diagnostic use only.
•
Potential Biohazard:
The CONTOUR USB meter is intended for
use with only one person. All products or
objects that come in contact with human
blood, even after cleaning, should be handled
as if capable of transmitting viral diseases.

End of Meter Life/Battery Removal:
NOTE:
Carry out this process only when you
no longer intend to use the meter. Meter will
not be functional once opened to remove
the battery.
To remove the battery for proper disposal, you will
need to pry the upper and lower cases apart.
With a screwdriver, beginning near the strip port,
insert the tip of the screwdriver and twist to pry
the case loose. Continue to do this down the side
until the upper case comes apart.
Pry off the black plastic cover over the battery (A).
Disconnect the battery from the connector (B).
Dispose of the meter and lithium polymer
battery in accordance with your local/country
laws and regulations.
