INTENDED USE

The CONTOUR®NEXT LINK 2.4 wireless blood glucose monitoring system from Bayer (meter, test

strips and control solution) is intended for self-testing by persons with diabetes to monitor glucose

concentrations for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood drawn from

the fingertip or palm.

It is intended for

in vitro

diagnostic use only

. The clinical utility of this device

is that it may be used as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of a diabetes control program.

The CONTOUR NEXT LINK 2.4 wireless blood glucose monitoring system is intended to be used to

transmit glucose values and send a remote bolus to compatible MiniMed 640G Insulin Pump and

facilitate transfer of information to Medtronic CareLink® Software through use of radio frequency

communication.

The CONTOUR NEXT LINK 2.4 wireless blood glucose monitoring system from Bayer is not intended for

the diagnosis of or screening for diabetes mellitus and it is not intended for use on neonates.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNINGS

• Use a new lancet each time you test because it is no longer sterile after use.

• Always dispose of test strips and lancets as medical waste or as advised by your health care

professional. All products that come in contact with human blood should be handled as if

capable of transmitting infectious diseases.

PRECAUTIONS

• Read your CONTOUR®NEXT LINK 2.4 user guide, the lancing device package insert, your

MiniMed® pump user guide and all instructional materials provided in your meter kit before testing.

Please follow all instructions for use and care exactly as described to help avoid inaccurate results.

• Examine product for missing, damaged, or broken parts. If the test strip bottle is open inside a new

box of strips, do not use those strips. For replacement parts, contact Customer Service. Please see

back cover for contact information.

• The CONTOUR®NEXT LINK 2.4 meter from Bayer only works with CONTOUR®NEXT test strips and

CONTOUR®NEXT control solutions.

• Always keep the CONTOUR NEXT test strips in their original bottle. Tightly close the bottle immediately

after removing a test strip. The bottle is designed to keep the test strips dry. Avoid exposing meter

and test strips to excessive humidity, heat, cold, dust, and dirt. Exposure to room humidity from

leaving the bottle open or not storing the strips in their original bottle can damage your test strips.

This could lead to inaccurate results. Do not use a test strip that appears damaged or has been used.

• Check the expiry dates on your test strips and control solution. Do not use the test strips or control

solution if the expiry date printed on the bottle label and carton has passed. This can cause

inaccurate results. For the control solution, do not use if it has been 6 months since you first opened

the bottle. After first opening the bottle, write the 6-month discard date on the control solution label.

• If your control solution test result is out of range, contact Customer Service. Please see back cover

for contact information. Do not use the meter for blood glucose testing until you resolve this issue.

• The meter has been designed to give accurate results at temperatures between 5°to 45°C. If you are

outside this range, you should not test. Whenever the meter is moved from one location to another,

allow approximately 20 minutes for the meter to adjust to the temperature of the new location before

performing a blood glucosetest.

• Do not perform a blood glucose test when the CONTOUR NEXT LINK 2.4 meter is connected to a

computer.

• Use only approved cables or wall charger from the manufacturer or a 5V charger approved by a

certified body such as UL, TUV or CSA.

• The CONTOUR®NEXT LINK 2.4 meter from Bayer has been preset and locked to display results in

mmol/L (millimoles of glucose per litre of blood).

OResults in mmol/L will always have a decimal point;

OResults in mg/dL will never have a decimal point.

Example: . or

OCheck your display screen to be sure the results are shown the right way. If not, please

seeCustomer Service contact information on the back cover of this user guide.

• The CONTOUR NEXT LINK 2.4 wireless blood glucose monitoring system from Bayer has a measuring

range of 1.1 mmol/L to 33.3 mmol/L.

OFor results under 1.1 mmol/L or over 33.3 mmol/L;

о If your blood sugar reading is under 1.1 mmol/L, the “Follow Medical Advice Immediately”

screen will display and the meter will beep twice. Contact your health care professional.

The CONTOUR NEXT LINK2.4 wireless blood glucose monitoring system is intended for

single-patient use only and should not be shared.

Serious Illness

• Capillary (fingerstick or Alternative Site) blood glucose testing may not be clinically appropriate

when peripheral flow is decreased. Shock, severe hypotension, hyperosmolar hyperglycaemia,

diabetic ketoacidosis, and occurrence of severe dehydration are examples of clinical conditions

that may adversely affect the measurement of glucose in peripheral blood.1-3

• Keep out of reach of children. This kit contains small parts which could cause suffocation if

accidentally swallowed.

Talk to Your Health Care Professional

• Before setting any Target ranges or High or Low Alerts on your meter.

• Before changing your medication based on test results.

• If your blood sugar reading is under 2.8 mmol/L, follow medical advice immediately.

• If your blood sugar reading is over 13.9 mmol/L, wash and dry your hands well and repeat the

test with a new strip. If you get a similar result, call your health care professional as soon as

possible.

Potential Biohazard

• Always wash and dry your hands well with soap and water before and after testing, handling the

meter, lancing device or test strips.

• The meter, lancing device and lancets are for single person use. Do not share them with anyone

including other family members. Do not use on multiple persons.

• All parts of this kit are considered biohazardous and can potentially transmit infectious

diseases, even after you have performed cleaning and disinfection. For instructions, please see

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) – Palm

IMPORTANT: 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 Testing

1. 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 machinery

Alternative 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) - Palm

Getting a Blood Drop for Alternative Site Testing

4. Press the lancing device firmly against puncture site

and then press the release button.

5. Maintain steady pressure until a small, round blood

drop forms.

6. Lift the device straight up and away from the skin

without smearing the blood.

7. Test immediately after you have formed a small, round blooddrop.

Immediately touch the tip of the test strip to the drop of blood. The blood is pulled into

the test strip through the tip.

Do not test the blood sample from palm if you get:

• Smeared blood

• Clotted blood

• Runny blood

• Clear fluid mixed with the blood

Pump Options

Pump Options allows you to connect or disconnect from a MiniMed insulin pump and

change your Send Settings (how your blood sugar readings are sent to your pump).

Connecting the Meter and Pump

You can send blood sugar results and a remote bolus to your pump if your meter and pump

are connected.

There are two ways to connect your meter to your pump: Manual Connect and Auto

Connect. Use Auto Connect to quickly connect to your pump. Use Manual Connect if

there are other Medtronic devices nearby. With Manual Connect, you will be prompted

to enter the device (meter) serial number so the pump can find your meter. With Auto

Connect, there is no need to enter a serial number. The meter and pump search for each

other, and you just need to confirm the serial numbers to connect.

Connecting to the Pump Using Auto Connect

NOTE: Place your meter and your pump side by side before you begin the

connection process. You need to alternate between both devices to complete

theconnection.

This example shows that your Before Meal average is 7.1 mmol/L and 38 test results are

included in the Before Meal average with 26within the Target range, 8above the

Target range and 4 below the Targetrange.

Principles of the Procedure

Service Information

Important Information

This 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.

Check List

This 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 Procedure

The 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 Options

The 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).8

Industry Canada Statement

The 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, and

2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
