System Performance Information
Principles of the Procedure:
The CONTOUR
®
blood glucose test is based on meas-
urement of electrical current caused by the reaction of
glucose with the reagents on the electrode of the strip.
The blood sample is drawn into the tip of the test strip
through capillary action. Glucose in th
e sample reacts with
FAD glucose dehydrogenase (FAD-GDH) and potassium
ferricyanide. Electrons are generated, producing a current
that is proportional to the glucose in the sample. After
the reaction time, the glucose concentration in the
sample is displayed. No calculation is required.
System Performance Information:
Intended Use:
The CONTOUR
®
USB system (meter, test strips and
control) is intended for self-testing by people with
diabetes to monitor glucose concentrations in whole
blood. Capillary samples may be drawn from alternative
site testing locations. The test provides a quantitative
measurement of glucose in blood from 1.1 to 33.3 mmol/L.
The CONTOUR USB system is not intended for the
diagnosis of or screening for diabetes mellitus and is
not intended for use on neonates.
CAUTION:
•
For in vitro diagnostic use only.
• Potential Biohazard:
The CONTOUR USB meter is intended for use
with only one person. All products or
objects that come in contact with human
blood, even after cleaning, should be handled as
if capable of transmitting viral diseases.

End of Meter Life/Battery Removal:
NOTE: Carry out this process only when you
no longer intend to use the meter. Meter will
not be functional once opened to remove
the battery.
To remove the battery for proper disposal, you will
need to pry the upper and lower cases apart.
With a screwdriver, beginning near the strip port,
insert the tip of the screwdriver and twist to pry
the case loose. Continue to do this down the side
until the upper case comes apart.
Pry off the black plastic cover over the battery (A).
Disconnect the battery from the connector (B).
Dispose of the meter and lithium polymer
battery in accordance with your local/country
laws and regulations.
