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.
The CONTOUR NEXT LINK 2.4 wireless blood glucose monitoring system is intended for
single-patient use only and should not be shared.
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
•
•
•
•
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNINGS
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.
• About whether Alternative Site Testing (AST) is appropriate for you.
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
Cleaning and Disinfection, page 62.
• The lancing device provided by Bayer is intended for self-testing by a single patient. It must not
be used on more than one person due to the risk of infection.
•
•
•
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).
O Results in mmol/L will always have a decimal point;
O Results in mg/dL will never have a decimal point.
Example:
or
93
Check 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.
O For 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.

Getting a Blood Drop for Alternative Site Testing
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.
5. Maintain steady pressure until a small, round blood
drop forms.

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.

Principles of the Procedure
Service Information
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.
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.
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
Important Information
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.)
