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. IMPORTANT: The CONTOUR LINK meter has not been tested or certified by Bayer for use with any software other than Bayer's G LUCOFACTS ® D ELUXE diabetes management software or CareLink Software. Bayer is not responsible for any erroneous results from the use of other software. For more information, call our Bayer Diabetes Care Customer Service (1-800-348-8100), or visit our website at www.bayerdiabetes.com/us. For CareLink information, visit www.medtronicdiabetes.com. Extras NOTE: If the cable is connected to the data port (even if the cable is not connected to a PC), results will NOT be sent to the Medtronic device. 44 Need Help ? Bayer Diabetes Care: 1-800-348-8100 CTS-103_CntrLINK_UG_Master_FpB4_v7.indd 44-45 Accuracy Diabetes experts have suggested that glucose meters should agree within 15 mg/dL of a laboratory method when the glucose concentration is lower than 75 mg/dL, and within 20% of a laboratory method when the glucose concentration is 75 mg/dL or higher. The chart below displays how often the CONTOUR LINK meter achieves this goal. The chart is based on a study done on 100 patients to see how well the CONTOUR LINK compared to laboratory results. For glucose results lower than 75 mg/dL, the percent (and number) of meter results that match the laboratory method within 15 mg/dL : For glucose results at 75 mg/dL or higher, the percent (and number) of meter results that match the laboratory method within 20%: 98.7% (75/76) 98.5% (319/324) Note: When meter results are compared to the laboratory results, results below 75 mg/dL are compared in mg/dL. Precision A study was conducted with the CONTOUR LINK blood glucose monitoring system with five heparinized whole blood specimens with glucose levels from 44 to 332 mg/dL. Multiple replicates (n=100) were tested using multiple C ONTOUR L INK blood glucose meters and one lot of CONTOUR blood glucose test strips. The following precision results were obtained: Plasma/Serum Mean SD Coefficient of variation 41.8 mg/dL 1.26 mg/dL 3.02% 78.1 mg/dL 1.99 mg/dL 2.55% 125.7mg/dL 2.67 mg/dL 2.12% 198.0 mg/dL 4.32 mg/dL 2.18% 312.3 mg/dL 5.01 mg/dL 1.60% www.bayerdiabetes.com/us Technical Information WARNING: Do not allow solution to run down into the test strip port or around the buttons. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
