Intended Use

The Contour^®Next ONE blood glucose monitoring system is intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood drawn from the fingertips. It is intended to be used by a single person and should not be shared. The system is intended for self-testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home as an aid in monitoring the effectiveness of a diabetes control program.

The Contour^®Next ONE blood glucose monitoring system should not be used for the diagnosis of or screening for diabetes or for neonatal use. The Contour^®Next blood glucose test strips are for use with the meter to quantitatively measure glucose in fresh capillary whole blood drawn from the fingertips.

NOTE: This document uses the term ‘blood glucose’ to mean ‘blood sugar’.

5. Help

Clean and Disinfect Your Meter

Cleaning is the removal of visible dirt and debris but does not kill germs. Disinfection kills most germs that may cause disease. The meter and lancing device should be cleaned and disinfected at least once per week.

1. Hold the meter with the test strip port facing down to keep liquid out.
2. Wipe the outside of the meter with a slightly damp lint-free cloth and a mild detergent solution.
3. Make sure no liquid enters the test strip port, the data port, or any opening in the meter.
4. Dry the meter with a dry, clean lint-free cloth.

Refer to the lancing device insert for the specific cleaning and disinfection procedure recommended for your device.

Replace Meter Batteries

Your Contour^®Next ONE meter uses one 3-volt lithium battery (CR2032). When the battery icon appears or stays on the display, replace the battery promptly.

1. Make sure your meter is off.
2. Open the battery door on the back of the meter.
3. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new one, positive (+) side up.
4. Close the battery door securely.

After changing the battery, verify the date and time settings.

Test with Control Solution

Run a control solution test:

• When you use your meter for the first time;
• When you open a new bottle or package of test strips;
• If you suspect that the meter or test strips are not working properly;
• If you have repeated unexpected blood glucose results;
• If you drop the meter.

1. Insert a test strip into the meter as you would for a blood glucose test.
2. Shake the control solution bottle well, about 15 times, before each use.
3. Squeeze a small drop of control solution onto a clean, nonabsorbent surface. Do not apply control solution directly to your fingertip or to the test strip from the bottle.
4. Touch the tip of the test strip to the drop of control solution. Hold the strip in the drop until the meter beeps.
5. Compare your result with the range printed on the test strip bottle or carton.
