CONTOUR® NEXT LINK Accuracy
• Industry standards have an acceptable error range of ±20% to lab results.

• Bayer’s CONTOUR® NEXT LINK meter gives even more accurate readings,
±10% to lab results.

1. International Organization for Standardization. ISO 15197:2003 section 7.4 requires results within ±20% range, specifically: ≥ 95% of results to fall within ±0.83 mmol/L of a laboratory reference value for
blood glucose concentrations <4.2 mmol/L and within ±20% of a laboratory reference value for blood glucose concentrations ≥4.2 mmol/L.
2. Exceeds the minimum accuracy requirement set out in the ISO 15197:2003 standard with ±10% accuracy vs. laboratory method for blood glucose concentrations ≥ 4.2mmol/L and ±0.56 mmol/L accuracy vs.
laboratory method for blood glucose concentrations < 4.2 mmol/L
