Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Certified Device
This equipment has been tested and found to meet the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
This portable transmitter with its antenna complies with FCC/IC RF exposure limits for
general population / uncontrolled exposure.
If you have questions, please contact Customer Service. Please see back cover for contact
information.
Principles of the Procedure
The C
ONTOUR
®
N
EXT
LINK 2.4 blood glucose test is based on measurement of electrical
current caused by the reaction of the 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 the mediator. 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.
Comparison Options
The C
ONTOUR
N
EXT
LINK 2.4 system is designed for use with capillary whole blood.
Comparison to a laboratory method must be done simultaneously with aliquots of the
same sample. Note: Glucose concentrations drop rapidly due to glycolysis (approximately
5%-7% per hour).
