Thank you for choosing Bayer's CONTOUR® LINK blood
glucose monitoring system! We are proud to be your
partner in helping you manage your diabetes. The
CONTOUR® LINK meter does much more than test your
blood glucose — it automatically sends your blood
glucose result to compatible* designated Medtronic
partner devices using a wireless, radio frequency
transmission.
The CONTOUR LINK blood glucose monitoring system
is intended for use by persons with diabetes in
home settings for the measurement of glucose in
whole blood, and is for single-patient use only. The
CONTOUR LINK blood glucose monitoring system is
indicated for use with capillary whole blood samples
drawn from the fingertip.
Critically ill patients (e.g. those with severe hypotension or shock, hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar state,
hypoxia, severe dehydration, diabetic ketoacidosis)
should not be tested with blood glucose meters
because inaccurate results may occur.

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.
Your Meter Features
Easy: The CONTOUR LINK blood glucose monitoring system is
all about simplicity. You will notice its uncomplicated approach
the first 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-filled.
Makes Sense: You will find 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 Coding TM 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.

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 finger 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.

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, 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.

1. 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.
Important
Your 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 glucose 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.
