blood glucose monitoring system
• The meter is designed to give accurate blood testing results at
temperatures between 5°C and 45°C. If the meter or test strip is
outside this range, you should not test until the meter and test
strip are within this range. 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 attempt to perform a blood glucose test when the
C
ontour
n
ext
meter is connected to a computer.
• Use only approved equipment from the manufacturer or certified
body such as UL, CSA, TUV, or CE.
• Avoid use of electronic devices in very dry environments,
especially if synthetic materials are present.
• Your C
ontour
n
ext
meter has been preset and locked to
display results in mmol/L (millimoles of glucose per litre of blood).
Results in mmol/L will always have a decimal point.
Results in mg/dL will never have a decimal point.
Example:
52
or
93
Check your display screen to be sure the results are shown
correctly (mmol/L). If not, contact Customer Service. See the
back cover for contact information.
• The C
ontour
n
ext
blood glucose monitoring system has a
measuring range of 0.6 mmol/L to 33.3 mmol/L.
For results under 0.6 mmol/L or over 33.3 mmol/L:
|
|
If your blood glucose reading is under 0.6 mmol/L, the
meter displays the LO screen. Contact your health care
professional immediately.
|
|
If your blood glucose reading is over 33.3 mmol/L, the
meter displays the HI screen. Wash your hands or the test
site. Repeat the test with a new strip. If results are still over
33.3 mmol/L, follow medical advice immediately. Also,
check your ketone levels.

Your Meter Features
Easy: The C
ontour
n
ext
blood glucose monitoring system is about
simplicity. You will notice this the first time you use it.
Automatic: The C
ontour
n
ext
meter is designed with No Coding
technology, to automatically code itself every time you insert a test
strip. It will also automatically mark a control solution test.
Second-Chance
®
sampling allows you to apply more blood to the
same test strip if the first blood sample is not enough. Your test strip is
designed to easily ‘sip’ the blood into the sample tip. Do not drop blood
directly on the flat surface of the test strip.
