Can my CONTOUR®NEXT EZ meter be paired with an app?
No, the CONTOUR®NEXT EZ meter does not have Bluetooth® technology that would allow pairing with an app. If you are looking for a CONTOUR® connected meter, please explore our CONTOUR®NEXT GEN and CONTOUR®NEXT ONE-meter options that are Bluetooth® enabled.
Does my CONTOUR®NEXT GEN meter have Bluetooth® connectivity?
Yes, every CONTOUR®NEXT GEN meter comes with Bluetooth® connectivity. When you start using your CONTOUR®NEXT GEN meter with the Contour™ Diabetes App, you will need to pair the two devices. The app and meter will then seamlessly connect and sync using Bluetooth® technology. The Bluetooth® setting on your mobile device and meter will need to be switched on for the pairing, and each time you test your blood glucose levels, so that the app can synchronize the reading. For more details on setting up Bluetooth®, please refer to the CONTOUR®NEXT GEN User Guide under the Resources section at the bottom of this page.
