Thank you for choosing the CONTOUR®NEXT EZ
blood glucose monitoring system! We are proud to
be your partner in helping you manage
your diabetes.
Your Meter Features
Easy: The CONTOUR NEXT EZ blood glucose monitoring
system is about simplicity. You will notice its simple
approach the first time you see it.
Automatic: Your CONTOUR NEXT EZ meter is designed
with No CodingTM technology, to automatically code
itself every time you insert a CONTOUR®NEXT test strip.
It will even tell you when a test strip is underfilled.
Programmed: Your CONTOUR NEXT EZ meter has been
preset at the factory with the standard date and time
for your convenience.
• Your meter has been preset and locked to display
results in mg/dL (milligrams of glucose per deciliter).
In some countries, the meters are preset to display
units in mmol/L (millimoles of glucose per liter);
• Results in mg/dL will never have a decimal point;
• Results in mmol/L will always have a decimal point.
Example: or
Check your display to ensure that results are being
displayed in mg/dL. If they are not, contact Bayer
Diabetes Care Customer Service at 1-800-348-8100
(available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week).
Customizable: The CONTOUR®NEXT EZ meter allows
you to set personal choices for some features. For
more information, please see pages 27 - 35.
Important Safety Information
• Always keep the test strips in the
original bottle. Tightly close the
bottle immediately after removing
a test strip. The bottle is designed to
keep the test strips dry. Exposure to
room humidity from leaving the bottle
open or not storing them in the original
bottle can damage your test strips.
This could lead to inaccurate test results.
• Wash and dry your hands well before and
after testing.
• Test strips are for single use only. Do not use a
test strip that appears damaged or has
been used.
• Your test strip is designed to easily “sip” the
blood into the sample tip. Do not drop blood
directly on the flat surface of the test strip.
• Do not press the test strip against your finger
when testing. This may block the sample tip.
