PRECAUTIONS
• Read your C ® N
ONTOUR
lancing device package insert, your Medtronic device 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 Bayer Customer Service. Please see
back cover for contact information.
• The C N LINK meter from Bayer only works with

C ® N test strips and C

• Always keep the C N
ONTOUR
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 Bayer
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 C
meter is connected to a computer.
