For complete instructions on disinfecting and cleaning
your meter and lancing device, please see page 16.
WARNING: Do not allow solution to run down into the
test strip port or around the buttons. Doing so may
cause a malfunction.

Transferring Results to a Computer
Technical Information
Transferring Results to a Computer:
You can easily transfer test results
from the
C
ONTOUR
®
LINK
meter
to a computer that includes the
Bayer's
G
LUCOFACTS
®
D
ELUXE
Diabetes Management
Software or Medtronic
CareLink
®
Therapy Management
Software. The results can then be
summarized into easy-to-read reports that you can share
with your physician. A Bayer data cable is required to use
this feature.
For more information, call our Bayer Diabetes Care
Customer Service at 1-800-348-8100 (available 24
hours a day, 7 days a week), or visit our website at
www.bayerdiabetes.com/us.
For CareLink information, visit www.medtronicdiabetes.com.
NOTE:
If the cable is connected to the data port (even if the
cable is not connected to a PC), results will NOT be sent to
the Medtronic device.
Accuracy
Diabetes experts have suggested that glucose meters should
agree within 15 mg/dL of a laboratory method when the
glucose concentration is lower than 75 mg/dL, and within
20% of a laboratory method when the glucose concentration
is 75 mg/dL or higher. The chart below displays how often
the
C
ONTOUR
®
L
INK
meter achieves this goal. The chart is
based on a study done on 100 patients to see how well the
C
ONTOUR
L
INK
compared to laboratory results.
For glucose results lower than 75 mg/dL, the
percent (and number) of meter results that
match the laboratory method within 15 mg/dL :
98.7%
(75/76)
For glucose results at 75 mg/dL or higher, the
percent (and number) of meter results that
match the laboratory method within 20%:
98.5%
(319/324)
Note: When meter results are compared to the laboratory results, results
below 75 mg/dL are compared in mg/dL.
Precision
To assess precision under repeatability conditions, venous
human blood samples were pooled and adjusted to a
hematocrit of 40%. Blood was collected in tubes using
sodium heparin as the anticoagulant. The glucose levels of
the test solutions were prepared either by allowing samples
to age to a fi nal concentration or by using the aqueous
20% glucose solution to adjust the fi nal test concentration.
Five glucose levels were evaluated.
For each of 3 lots of sensors, ten
C
ONTOUR
L
INK
instruments
were tested with ten replicates. In total three hundred
replicates were used for each blood glucose level. The
mean blood glucose levels, pooled standard deviations and
%CVs were calculated and are presented here.
