PRECAUTIONS
• Read your CONTOUR
®
NEXT user guide, the lancing device
package insert and all instructional materials provided in your
meter kit before testing. Please follow all instructions for use and
care exactly as described to help avoid inaccurate results.
• Examine product for missing, damaged, or broken parts. If the
test strip bottle is open inside a new box of strips, do not use
those strips. Contact Bayer Diabetes Care Helpline 9 a.m. to
9 p.m., 7 days a week, at 1-800-268-7200 for replacement parts.
• The CONTOUR
®
NEXT meter from Bayer only works with
CONTOUR
®
NEXT test strips and CONTOUR
®
NEXT control solution.
• Always keep the CONTOUR NEXT test strips in their original bottle.
Tightly close the bottle immediately after removing a test strip.
The bottle is designed to keep the test strips dry. Avoid exposing
meter and test strips to excessive humidity, heat, cold, dust, or
dirt. Exposure to room humidity by leaving the bottle open or not
storing the strips in their original bottle can damage your test
strips. This could lead to inaccurate results. Do not use a test
strip that appears damaged or has been used.
• Check the expiration dates on your test strips and control
solution. Do not use the test strips or control solution if the
expiration date printed on the bottle label and carton has passed.
This can cause inaccurate results. For the control solution, do not
use if it has been six months since you first opened the bottle.
It will help to write the six month discard date on the control
solution label.
• If your control solution test result is out of range, call Bayer
Diabetes Care Helpline at 1-800-268-7200 (9 a.m. to 9 p.m.,
7 days a week). Do not use the meter for blood glucose testing
until you resolve this issue.
• The meter has been designed to give accurate results at
temperatures between 5°C and 45°C. If you are outside this
range, you should not test. 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 perform a blood glucose test when the C
ONTOUR
®
NEXT
meter is connected to a computer.
• Use only approved equipment from the manufacturer or certified
body such as UL or TUV.
• It is advisable to avoid use of electronic devices in very dry
environments, especially if synthetic materials are present.
• Your CONTOUR NEXT meter from Bayer has been preset and
locked to display results in mmol/L (millimoles of glucose per liter
of blood).
O
Results in mmol/L will always have a decimal point;
O
Results in mg/dL will never have a decimal point.

Check your display screen to be sure the results are shown
the right way. If not, contact Bayer Diabetes Care Helpline
9 a.m. to 9 p.m., 7 days a week, at 1-800-268-7200.
• The C
ONTOUR NEXT blood glucose monitoring system from Bayer
has a measuring range of 0.6 mmol/L to 33.3 mmol/L.
O
For results over 33.3 mmol/L or under 0.6 mmol/L:
о
If your blood sugar reading is under 0.6 mmol/L, the “Result
Under 0.6 mmol/L” screen will instruct you to “Follow Medical
Advice Immediately.” Contact your health care professional.
о
If your blood sugar reading is over 33.3 mmol/L the “Result
Over 33.3 mmol/L” screen will instruct you to “Wash hands or
test site. Repeat test with new strip”. If results are still over
33.3 mmol/L, “Follow Medical Advice Immediately”
is displayed.
