Your CONTOUR ® L INK Meter: Additional Materials • C ONTOUR ® Test Strips — Use for blood glucose or control solution testing. Supplied in a handy bottle with an easy-toopen flip-top lid. • M ICROLET ®2 Lancing Device — Use for fingertip puncture with Bayer's MICROLET lancet. • BATTERIES—Use two 3-volt (DL2032 or CR2032) lithium batteries. Replace when necessary.
Programmed: Your CONTOUR® LINK meter has been preset at the factory with the standard date and time. To change these settings or to use advanced meter features, such as meal markers, read through the Options section of your User Guide. Your CONTOUR® LINK blood glucose meter is specific for glucose and has been referenced to plasma/serum values. Methods calibrated to plasma/serum can be 9% to 15% higher than the results of whole blood glucose assay methods.
Talking to Your Compatible Medtronic Device 1. Program your meter ID number into your compatible Medtronic device. The ID number is the serial number found on the left side of the back label of your meter. It is a 6-digit numeric or alphanumeric number (0–9, A–F); for example, 120462 or B12B3C. See the User Guide for your Medtronic device for complete information on this step. 2. Set your meter to the same time and date as your Medtronic device (see page 25 in this User Guide).
Getting Ready to Test: Testing Remove the endcap from the M ICROLET 2 lancing device. Getting Ready to Test 8 Rotate (do not remove) the protective cap on a lancet ¼ turn. Remove a test strip from the bottle. Tightly close the bottle lid immediately after you have removed the test strip. NOTE: Check the expiration date. Make sure the test strip does not appear torn or damaged. Tightly close the bottle lid immediately after you have removed the test strip. Excess moisture could damage the test strip.
Fingertip Testing — The depth of the puncture depends upon the adjustable endcap setting you choose and the amount of pressure applied to the puncture site. You should determine which combination works best. Immediately touch the Getting the Blood Drop Press the endcap firmly against the puncture site and press the blue release button. Wait a few seconds. Stroke your hand and finger towards the puncture site to form a drop of blood. Do not squeeze around the puncture site.
Stopping a Result While it is Being Sent Testing Your Blood The test result will also be automatically stored in the meter memory. If you have set your meter to use the special marker options (see page 28), the markers must be selected while the result is still being displayed, before removing the strip or turning the meter off. NOTES: 1. A result of “LO” or “HI” will not be sent to the Medtronic device, even when the Send option is on.
Removing the used lancet: Testing WARNING: Testing Your Blood • Test your blood again if your test result is below 50 mg/dL, above 250 mg/dL, or if you see “LO” or “HI” on the meter display. If your glucose level is still below 50 mg/dL, above 250 mg/dL, or shows as “LO” or “HI”, call your physician or health care professional immediately. • Do not change your medication based on CONTOUR® LINK blood glucose results without the advice of your physician or health care professional.
WARNING: Cleaning and Disinfection 16 • Always wash your hands well with soap and water before and after testing and handling the meter, lancing device, or test strips. NOTE: If your meter is being operated by a second person who is providing testing assistance to you, the meter and lancing device should be disinfected prior to use by the second person. The cleaning and disinfecting directions provided will not cause any damage or degradation to the external case, buttons or display.

If it has not, you can enter the test result manually. If you continue to have problems, contact Bayer Diabetes Care Customer Service. Control test result is out-ofrange (too high or too low).
Changing the Batteries: WARNING: When a low battery warning displays on the meter, replace the battery as soon as possible to avoid a test result not being stored in the meter memory. Slide the battery cover back into place, lining up with the open slots, and close firmly. Batteries should be replaced when the meter continually displays or the meter briefly flashes and then turns off (See Error Codes and Symbols, page 36). WARNING: Keep batteries away from children. Lithium batteries are poisonous.
Transferring Results to a Computer: Transferring Results to a Computer You can easily transfer test results from the CONTOUR® LINK meter to a computer that includes the Bayer's GLUCOFACTS® DELUXE Diabetes Management Software or Medtronic CareLink® Therapy Management Software. The results can then be summarized into easy-to-read reports that you can share with your physician. A Bayer data cable is required to use this feature.
Specifications: To assess intermediate measurement precision, the performance of ten CONTOUR® LINK meters was evaluated with three lots of sensors. The evaluation was performed by three operators who utilized three liquid control glucose levels under normal conditions of use over the course of 10 days. In total, three hundred sensors were used for each glucose level. The Grand Mean, pooled standard deviation and pooled %CV for each glucose level were calculated and are presented here.
