next GEN 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
Contour next GEN meter is connected to a computer.
Use only approved equipment from the manufacturer or certied
body such as UL, CSA, TUV, or CE.
Avoid use of electronic devices in very dry environments,
especially if synthetic materials are present.
Your
Contour next GEN meter has been preset and locked to
display results in mmol/L (millimoles of glucose per liter 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
Contour next GEN 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.
Your Meter Features
Easy: The Contour next GEN blood glucose monitoring system is
about simplicity. You will notice this the rst time you use it.
Automatic: The
Contour next GEN 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 rst 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 at surface of the test strip.
Thank you for choosing the
Contour next GEN blood glucose
monitoring system. We are proud to be your partner in helping you
manage your diabetes.
CAUTION: Your
Contour next GEN meter works ONLY with
Contour next test strips and Contour next control solution.
