Use a new lancet each time you test because it is no longer sterile after use.
• Always dispose of test strips and lancets as medical waste or as advised by your health care
professional. All products that come in contact with human blood should be handled as if
capable of transmitting infectious diseases.

pump user guide and all instructional materials provided in your meter kit before testing.
Please follow all instructions for use and care exactly as described to help avoid inaccurate results.
• Examine product for missing, damaged, or broken parts. If the test strip bottle is open inside a new
box of strips, do not use those strips. For replacement parts, contact Customer Service. Please see

test strips in their original bottle. Tightly close the bottle immediately
after removing a test strip. The bottle is designed to keep the test strips dry. Avoid exposing meter
and test strips to excessive humidity, heat, cold, dust, and dirt. Exposure to room humidity from
leaving the bottle open or not storing the strips in their original bottle can damage your test strips.
This could lead to inaccurate results. Do not use a test strip that appears damaged or has been used.
• Check the expiry dates on your test strips and control solution. Do not use the test strips or control
solution if the expiry date printed on the bottle label and carton has passed. This can cause
inaccurate results. For the control solution, do not use if it has been 6 months since you first opened
the bottle. After first opening the bottle, write the 6-month discard date on the control solution label.
• If your control solution test result is out of range, contact Customer Service. Please see back cover
for contact information. Do not use the meter for blood glucose testing until you resolve this issue.
• The meter has been designed to give accurate results at temperatures between 5° to 45°C. If you are
outside this range, you should not test. Whenever the meter is moved from one location to another,
allow approximately 20 minutes for the meter to adjust to the temperature of the new location before
performing a blood glucose test.
• Do not perform a blood glucose test when the C

INTENDED USE
The C
ONTOUR
®
N
EXT
LINK 2.4 wireless blood glucose monitoring system (meter, test strips and control
solution) is intended for self-testing by persons with diabetes to monitor glucose concentrations for the
quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood drawn from the fingertip or palm.
It
is intended for in vitro diagnostic use only. The clinical utility of this device is that it may be used as
an aid to monitor the effectiveness of a diabetes control program.
The C
ONTOUR
N
EXT
LINK 2.4 wireless blood glucose monitoring system is intended to be used to
transmit glucose values and send a remote bolus to compatible MiniMed 630G Insulin Pump and
facilitate transfer of information to Medtronic CareLink
®
Software through use of radio frequency
communication.
The C
ONTOUR
N
EXT
LINK 2.4 wireless blood glucose monitoring system is not intended for the
diagnosis of or screening for diabetes mellitus and it is not intended for use on neonates.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNINGS
The C
ONTOUR
N
EXT
LINK 2.4 wireless blood glucose monitoring system is intended for
single-patient use only and should not be shared.
Serious Illness
• Capillary (fingerstick or Alternative Site) blood glucose testing may not be clinically appropriate
when peripheral flow is decreased. Shock, severe hypotension, hyperosmolar hyperglycaemia,
diabetic ketoacidosis, and occurrence of severe dehydration are examples of clinical conditions
that may adversely affect the measurement of glucose in peripheral blood.

• Keep out of reach of children. This kit contains small parts which could cause suffocation if
accidentally swallowed.
Talk to Your Health Care Professional
• Before setting any Target ranges or High or Low Alerts on your meter.
• Before changing your medication based on test results.
• If your blood sugar reading is under 2.8 mmol/L, follow medical advice immediately.
• If your blood sugar reading is over 13.9 mmol/L, wash and dry your hands well and repeat the
test with a new strip. If you get a similar result, call your health care professional as soon as
possible.
• About whether Alternative Site Testing (AST) is appropriate for you.
Potential Biohazard
• Always wash and dry your hands well with soap and water before and after testing, handling the
meter, lancing device or test strips.
• The meter, lancing device and lancets are for single person use. Do not share them with anyone
including other family members. Do not use on multiple persons.
• All parts of this kit are considered biohazardous and can potentially transmit infectious
diseases, even after you have performed cleaning and disinfection. For instructions, please see
Cleaning and Disinfection, page 62.
• The lancing device provided with your kit is intended for self-testing by a single patient. It must
not be used on more than one person due to the risk of infection.
