device package insert 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.

• Always keep the C
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, or
dirt. Exposure to room humidity by 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 expiration dates on your test strips and control solution.
Do not use the test strips or control solution if the expiration 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 six months since you first opened the bottle. It will help to
write the six month discard date on the control solution label.
• If your control solution test result is out of range, contact Customer
Service. See the 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°C and 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.
