6ImportantNeed Help ? Bayer Diabetes Care: 1-800-348-8100 7Importantwww.bayerdiabetes.com/usImportant Things to KnowYour Meter FeaturesProgrammed: Your CONTOUR LINK meter has been pre-set 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. Easy: The CONTOUR LINK blood glucose monitoring system is all about simplicity. You will notice its uncomplicated approach the fi rst time you see it. Simple things like the use of three large buttons and a clear display are sure to make this your favorite meter right from the start.Automatic: You no longer have to worry about coding your meter or marking a control test result. The CONTOUR LINK meter does it automatically. It will even tell you when a test strip is under-fi lled.Makes Sense: You will fi nd features asked for by customers just like you. Practical features like a fast test time, a very small blood sample size, and a simple testing procedure (No CodingTM technology!) make the CONTOUR LINK meter your meter.Convenient: Your CONTOUR LINK meter takes up about as much room in your pocket or bag as your key ring. The meter’s small size, sleek design, and ease of use allow you to take it everywhere. You will be likely to test more often, which can mean better control of your diabetes.“Talks” to Your Compatible Medtronic Device: Your CONTOUR LINK meter has the ability to automatically send your glucose result directly to your compatible Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm Insulin Pump. This eliminates the need to manually enter your blood glucose result into the insulin pump’s Bolus Wizard® Calculator, which calculates an estimated bolus to support your food intake or to correct a high blood glucose. Your CONTOUR LINK meter can also send your fingertip blood glucose result directly to your compatible MiniMed Paradigm or Guardian REAL-Time CGM System, eliminating the need to manually enter the result when calibrating the system.Your Meter FeaturesImportant Things to KnowYour CONTOUR LINK blood glucose meter is specifi c 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. Always keep the test strips in the original bottle. Tightly close the bottle immediately after removing a test strip. The bottle is specially designed to provide a dry environment for the test strips. Extended exposure to room humidity from leaving the bottle open or not storing the test strips in the original bottle will damage your test strips. Avoid excessive “milking” of your fi nger when forming a drop of blood and test immediately after forming the blood drop. DO NOT use a test strip that appears damaged or has been used. Test strips are for single use only.IMPORTANT NOTE: Your meter has been preset and locked to display results in mg/dL (milligrams of glucose per deciliter). Test results in mg/dL will never have a decimal point. In some countries, the meters are preset to display units in mmol/L (millimoles of glucose per liter). Results in mmol/L will always have a decimal point. Check your display to ensure that results are being displayed in the expected units; if they are not, contact Bayer Diabetes Care Customer Service at 800-348-8100. Example: or IMPORTANT: 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.CTS-103_CntrLINK_UG_Master_FpB4_v7.indd 6-7CTS-103_CntrLINK_UG_Master_FpB4_v7.indd 6-7 2/7/11 3:59:53 PM2/7/11 3:59:53 PM
8ImportantNeed Help ? Bayer Diabetes Care: 1-800-348-8100 9Importantwww.bayerdiabetes.com/usBefore You BeginFirst Things First: Talking to Your Compatible Medtronic DeviceYour CONTOUR LINK meter is already set with the Send option turned on. (To turn the option off, see page 26.) Every time the meter displays a new blood glucose test result, the result is automatically sent to your compatible Medtronic device. However, your Medtronic device will only accept the glu-cose result if the Meter Option in your device’s Utilities Menu is set to On and you have programmed the device with the meter’s ID (serial) number. Up to three different meter ID numbers, can be accepted. See your Medtronic device addendum that is included in your device box.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, 1204620 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 27 in this User Guide).The Medtronic device can receive a glucose result only if you have entered your meter’s ID number into the device. Conversely, no one else’s insulin pump or continuous glucose monitoring system can receive your glucose result, unless your meter ID number has been entered into that device. The meter uses a wireless signal to send the blood glucose result to the Medtronic device. However, the Send option must be set to ON (see page 26) and the meter and Medtronic device must be within 4 feet of each other. If you are not using the link functionality on your Medtronic device, you may want to turn the Send option off to save battery power.Talking to Your Compatible Medtronic DeviceBefore You Begin1. Have all the materials you will need ready before you begin testing. This includes your CONTOUR LINK meter, the CONTOUR test strips, and the MICROLET2 lancing device with MICROLET lancets. You may also need CONTOUR control solution to run a quality control check.2. Read your User Guide and all instructional materials provided in your meter kit before testing.3. Let the meter and test strips adjust to the temperature of the location where you are testing. Whenever the meter is moved from one location to another, allow 20 minutes for the meter to adjust to the temperature of that new location before performing a blood glucose test.4. It is important not to use the test strips or control solution if the expiration date printed on the bottle label and carton has passed or if it has been six months (180 days) since you fi rst opened the control solution bottle. It will help to write the six month discard date on the label in the area provided when you fi rst open the control solution.5. Before testing, always wash your hands thoroughly with warm soapy water and dry them well.CTS-103_CntrLINK_UG_Master_FpB4_v7.indd 8-9CTS-103_CntrLINK_UG_Master_FpB4_v7.indd 8-9 2/7/11 3:59:53 PM2/7/11 3:59:53 PM
