est

Information For Safety

•

Have all the materials you will need ready before
you begin testing.

This includes your C

ONTOUR

meter, the C

ONTOUR

EXT

test strips, the M

ICROLET

lancing device and M

ICROLET

lancets. You will also

need C

ONTOUR

EXT

control solution to run a quality

control check. C

ONTOUR

EXT

control solutions are

available separately. Call Bayer Diabetes Support at
0845 600 6030 (UK) / 1 890 920 111 (Ireland)

•

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. Contact Bayer Diabetes Support
at 0845 600 6030 (UK) / 1 890 920 111 (Ireland) for
replacement parts.

•

The M

ICROLET

2 lancing device 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.

•

Use a new M

ICROLET

lancet each time you test

because it is no longer sterile after use.

•

Do not perform a blood glucose test when the

ONTOUR

XT meter is connected to an external device,

e.g., computer.

•

Use only approved equipment from the manufacturer or

certified body such as UL or TUV.

Preparing the Test Strip

Wash and dry your hands well before testing.

Remove a C

ONTOUR

EXT

test strip from the bottle.

Use only Bayer’s
C

ONTOUR

EXT

test strips.

Hold the test strip with the

grey end facing up.

Insert the grey end into the

test strip port on the meter.

The following steps are shown in the proper order for
performing a blood glucose test, pages 7 – 12.

Preparing the Lancing Device

Loosen the round

protective cap on a lancet
by rotating it ¼ turn, but
do not remove it. Always
use M

ICROLET

lancets for

best operation.

Remove the endcap from

the M

ICROLET

2 lancing

device with your thumb on
the grip indent as shown.

The meter will turn on. An image of a test strip with a flashing
blood drop

will appear letting you know the meter is

ready to test.
