Important Things to Know:
Your CONTOUR TS Blood Glucose Meter is specifi c for
glucose and has been referenced to plasma/serum values.
Methods calibrated to plasma/serum can be 9 to 15% high-
er than the results of whole blood glucose assay methods.
Always keep the test strips in the original bottle. Firmly
snap the lid closed immediately after removing a test
strip. The bottle is especially designed to provide a dry envi-
ronment for the test strips. Extended exposure to room humid-
ity from leaving the bottle open or not storing the test strips in
the original bottle will damage your test strips. Do not expose
test strips to direct sunlight.
Avoid excessive “milking” of your fi nger when forming a drop
of blood and test immediately after forming the blood drop.
DO NOT drop blood directly on the fl at surface of the
test strip. Your test strip is designed to easily draw the blood
in through the sample tip.
DO NOT press the test strip against your fi nger. This may
block the sample tip.
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 to display
results in mg/dL (milligrams of glucose per deciliter). Results
in mg/dL will never have a decimal point (e.g., ); results
in mmol/L (millimoles of glucose per liter) will always have
a decimal point (e.g.,
). Check your display to ensure
that results are being displayed in the expected units; if
they are not, contact your authorized Bayer Diabetes Care
representative.
