IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNINGS
Serious Illness
• Capillary (fingerstick or Alternative Site) blood glucose testing may
not be clinically appropriate when peripheral flow is decreased.
Shock, severe hypotension, hyperosmolar hyperglycemia, diabetic
ketoacidosis, and occurrence of severe dehydration are examples
INTENDED USE
The CONTOUR®NEXT blood glucose monitoring system from Bayer
(meter, test strips and control solution) is intended for use by persons
with diabetes for self-testing and by health care professionals for
use on a single patient. The CONTOUR NEXT system is intended
for the quantitative measurement of glucose (from 0.6mmol/L to
33.3mmol/L) in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from the
fingertip or palm. Venous whole blood samples may also be used by
health care professionals.
The CONTOUR NEXT blood glucose monitoring system may also
be used by health care professionals to monitor hypoglycemia in
neonates. The system should not be used for diagnosis or screening.
Diagnosis of neonatal hypoglycemia should be performed using a
laboratory glucose method. For neonates exhibiting hypoglycemic
symptoms, provide appropriate medical care to treat symptoms and
monitor patients. If symptoms are inconsistent with meter results,
obtain a laboratory blood glucose test. The CONTOUR NEXT blood
glucose monitoring system has not been evaluated specifically with
pre-term neonates.
The CONTOUR NEXT blood glucose monitoring system may be used
as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of an individual’s personal
blood glucose control program. The CONTOUR NEXT blood glucose
monitoring system is not intended for the diagnosis of or screening
for diabetes mellitus.
The CONTOUR NEXT blood glucose monitoring system is intended
for in vitro diagnostic use only.
The CONTOUR NEXT blood glucose monitoring system is
intended for single-patient use only and should not be shared.

of glucose in peripheral blood.1-3
Talk to Your Health Care Professional
• Before setting any Target ranges on your meter,
• Before changing your medication based on test results,
• If your blood sugar reading is under 2.8 mmol/L follow medical
advice immediately,
• If your blood sugar reading is over 13.9 mmol/L, wash and dry
your hands well and repeat the test with a new strip. If you
get a similar result, call your health care professional as soon
as possible,
• About whether Alternative Site Testing (AST) is appropriate for you.
Potential Biohazard
• Always wash and dry your hands well with soap and water before
and after testing, handling the meter, lancing device or test strips.
• The meter, lancing device and lancets provided by Bayer are for
single-patient use. Do not share them with anyone including other
family members. Do not use on multiple patients.
• All parts of this kit are considered biohazardous and can
potentially transmit infectious diseases, even after you have
performed cleaning and disinfection. For instructions, please
see Cleaning and Disinfection, page 22.
• The lancing device provided by Bayer should not be used for
assisted blood draws by health care professionals or at health
care provision sites.
• Use a new lancet each time you test because it is no longer sterile
after use.
• Always dispose of test strips and lancets as medical waste or as
advised by your health care professional. All products that come
in contact with human blood should be handled as if capable of
transmitting infectious diseases.
• Keep out of reach of children. This kit contains small parts which
could cause suffocation if accidentally swallowed.
• Keep batteries away from children. Lithium batteries are
poisonous. If swallowed, immediately contact your poison
controlcenter.

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 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. 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.

iv
• Do not perform a blood glucose test when the CONTOUR®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).
OResults in mmol/L will always have a decimal point;
OResults in mg/dL will never have a decimal point.
Example: or
OCheck your display screen to be sure the results are shown
the right way. If not, contact Bayer Diabetes Care Helpline
at 1-800-268-7200.
• The CONTOUR NEXT blood glucose monitoring system from Bayer
has a measuring range of 0.6 mmol/L to 33.3 mmol/L.
OFor 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.

Your Meter Features
Easy: The CONTOUR®NEXT blood glucose monitoring system is
about simplicity. You will notice this the first time you use it.
Automatic: The CONTOUR NEXT meter from Bayer is designed with
No Coding technology, to automatically code itself every time
you insert a test strip. It will also automatically mark a control
solution test.
Enough Blood: The CONTOUR NEXT meter alerts you when a test
strip is under-filled and allows you to add more blood. 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.
Thank you for choosing the CONTOUR NEXT blood glucose monitoring
system from Bayer. We are proud to be your partner in helping you
manage your diabetes.
CAUTION: Your CONTOUR®NEXT meter ONLY works with
CONTOUR®NEXT test strips and CONTOUR®NEXT control solution.
