BLOOD GLUCOSE READINGS MAY BE FURTHER FROM LAB RESULTS THAN YOU THINK.

Industry standards have an acceptable error range of ±15%* between the meter reading and the lab reading on the same blood sample.

This means that your blood glucose meter reading could actually be 15% higher or 15% lower than the true value of the glucose in your blood.

CONTOUR^®NEXT meters go above the industry standard by providing blood glucose readings that are within ±10%^† of the lab reading. This means that the reading you get from CONTOUR^®NEXT meters will be closer to the lab results.

WHY IS ACCURACY IMPORTANT?

ACCURATE READINGS CAN HELP YOU MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS WHEN THEY MATTER MOST.

You depend on your meter to help you make important decisions with respect to blood glucose management. for example, you might rely on your meter to:

• Allow you to make more accurate insulin dosing decisions
• Tell you if your blood glucose is too low (hypoglycemia), too high (hyperglycemia) or just right
• Help you make decisions about your food, activity and medications

To have confidence that you are making the right decisions based on accurate readings, you need the values on your meter to reflect your actual blood glucose as closely as possible. A reading that is off by 15% vs. a reading that is off by only 10% could mean that you inject too much insulin or eat too little carbohydrates, which could put you at risk for a hypoglycemic episode. Highly accurate readings, such as those provided by the CONTOUR^®NEXT meters, can help you make the right decisions when they matter most.

THE CONTOUR^®NEXT TEST STRIP FEATURES:

CONTOUR^®NEXT test strips can be used with CONTOUR^®NEXT ONE, CONTOUR^®NEXT, CONTOUR^®NEXT LINK 2.4 , CONTOUR^®NEXT LINK,  CONTOUR^®NEXT EZ and CONTOUR^®NEXT USB blood glucose meters to give you:

• Remarkable accuracy in test results
• Second-Chance^® sampling
• Easy Sip-In Sampling^® automatic strip filling action that helps you test correctly the first try
• Accuracy even at low blood glucose levels
• No Coding^™ technology
• No interference with maltose and galactose^‡, and other common substances (such as acetaminophen, vitamin C and uric acid)

_{‡ No interference has been observed with the CONTOUR^®NEXT test strips tested with maltose and galactose concentrations up to 9.8 mmol/L and 18.6 mmol/L, respectively.}

_{* Current regulation based on Health Canada recognized ISO 15197:2013 standard requires results within ±15% range, specifically: ≥95% of results must fall within ±0.83 mmol/L for blood glucose concentrations <5.55 mmol/L and within ±15% for blood glucose concentrations ≥5.55 mmol/L.
† CONTOUR^®NEXT meter meets ±10% accuracy vs. laboratory method, specifically: 98.1% of results within ±10% for blood glucose concentrations ≥5.55 mmol/L, and 99.4% of results within ±0.56 mmol/L accuracy vs. laboratory method for blood glucose concentrations <5.55 mmol/L.}
