WARNING•  Ask your health care professional if Alternative Site Testing is right for you.•  Do not calibrate your continuous glucose monitoring device from an AST result.•  Do not calculate a bolus based on an AST result.  Alternative Site Testing (AST) – PalmIMPORTANT: For Alternative Site Testing, use the clear endcap on your lancing device provided by Bayer. Your CONTOUR®NEXT LINK 2.4 meter can be used for fingertip or palm testing. See the lancing device insert for complete instructions in Alternative Site Testing.  Getting a Blood Drop for Alternative Site Testing1.  Wash your hands and the puncture site with soap and warm water. Rinse and dry well.2.  Attach the clear AST endcap to the lancing device provided by Bayer. Refer to the lancing device insert for detailed instructions.3.  Select a puncture site from a fleshy area on the palm. Avoid veins, moles, bones and tendons.IMPORTANT: Do not use AST under the following conditions:•  If you think your blood sugar is low•  When blood sugar is changing rapidly (after a meal, insulin dose, or exercise)•  If you are unable to feel symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemic unawareness)•  If you get alternative site blood sugar results that do not agree with how you feel•  During illness or times of stress•  If you will be driving a car or operating machineryAlternative Site test results may be different from fingertip results when glucose levels are changing rapidly (e.g., after a meal, after taking insulin, or during or after exercise). Additionally, glucose levels may not rise as high or fall as low as levels in the fingertip. As such, fingertip testing results may identify hypoglycaemic levels sooner than alternate site results.Alternative Site Testing is recommended only when it is more than 2 hours after a meal, diabetes medication, or exercise.If you do not have a clear endcap to perform AST, contact Customer Service. Please see back cover for contact information.Alternative Site Testing (AST) - PalmGetting a Blood Drop for Alternative Site Testing4.

TECHNICAL& CARE5958TECHNICAL& CARE®Principles of the ProcedureService Information Important InformationThis equipment has been tested and found to comply with the Industry Canada Standard in RSS-210. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:•  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.•  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.   Service Information If you have a problem and none of the problem-solving messages on the meter help, contact Customer Service. Please see back cover for contact information. We have trained specialists to help you. ImportantSpeak to a Customer Service Representative beforereturning your meter for any reason. He/she will give youthe information needed to get your problem handled correctly andefficiently. Have your CONTOUR®NEXT LINK 2.4 blood glucose meter and CONTOUR®NEXT test strips available when you phone. It would also be helpful to have a bottle of CONTOUR®NEXT control solution suitable for your test strips nearby. AXXXXSN123456BCheck ListThis check list may be helpful when speaking with Customer Service: 1.  Locate the model number (A) and serial number (B) on the back of the meter. 2.  Locate the test strips’ expiry date on the bottle. 3.  Check the battery symbol   on the screen. (See page 54, Battery Status.)Principles of the ProcedureThe CONTOUR®NEXT LINK 2.4 blood glucose test is based on measurement of electrical current caused by the reaction of the 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 the sample reacts with FAD glucose dehydrogenase (FAD-GDH) and a phenothiazine derivative as a mediator. 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. Comparison OptionsThe CONTOUR NEXT LINK 2.4 system is designed for use with capillary whole blood. Comparison to a laboratory method must be done simultaneously with aliquots of the same sample. Note: Glucose concentrations drop rapidly due to glycolysis (approximately 5%-7% per hour).8Industry Canada StatementThe term “IC:” before the certification/registration number only signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were met.Operation is subject to the following two conditions:1) this device may not cause interference, and2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
