System Information:

Intended Use
The C ® TS system (meter, test strips, controls) is
ONTOUR
intended for self-testing by people with diabetes and by health
care professionals to monitor glucose concentrations in whole
blood. Capillary samples may be drawn from alternate site
testing locations. In clinical settings, the
may also be used with fresh venous and arterial whole blood.
CAUTION
• For in vitro diagnostic use only. External use, do not
swallow test strips.
• Potential Biohazard: Health care professionals using
this system on multiple patients should be aware that
all products or objects that come in contact with human

M ™2
ICROLET
not suitable for use by health care professionals. It must
not be used on more than one person due to the risk of
infection.
Principles of the Procedure
®
The C TS blood glucose test is based on measurement
ONTOUR
of electrical current caused by the reaction of 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 potassium ferricyanide. Electrons are gener-
ated, 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.
