What are Contour Next Test Strips?
Contour Next Test Strips are designed for people with diabetes to measure glucose (sugar) levels in their blood at home.
These strips work with specific Contour Next blood glucose monitors, including Contour Next GEN, Contour Next, and Contour Next ONE, among others.
They help users track their blood sugar to manage their diabetes effectively. However, these test strips are not for diagnosing or screening for diabetes.
They are intended for single-patient use only and should not be used in clinical or hospital settings. Sharing test strips or meters can transmit bloodborne infections such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV.
How Do Contour Next Test Strips Work?
Contour Next Test Strips work with the Contour Next ONE blood glucose meter to measure glucose (sugar) levels in fresh blood samples.
To use them, you place a small drop of blood from your fingertip or palm onto the test strip.
The strip then analyzes the blood and provides a precise measurement of your glucose level.
This system is designed for home use to help people with diabetes monitor their blood sugar levels accurately.
Features
- Tiny Sample Size (0.6µl): Requires only a small amount of blood for testing, making it less painful and more convenient.
- Second-Chance® Sampling: Allows up to 60 seconds to add more blood if the first sample wasn’t enough, ensuring accurate results even if the initial sample was insufficient.
- ISO 15197:2013 Compliance: Meets industry standards for accuracy, ensuring reliable and precise glucose measurements.
How to Use Contour Next Test Strips?
Prepare the Meter:
- Insert a Contour Next Test Strip into the test strip port of your meter: This gets the meter ready to test your blood.
Get a Blood Sample:
- Use the MICROLET Next lancing device or another lancet to obtain a tiny drop of blood from your fingertip: This step provides the blood needed for the test.
Apply Blood to the Test Strip:
- Gently touch the edge of the test strip to the blood drop until the meter beeps: This allows the test strip to absorb the blood and start the testing process.
Wait for Results:
- The meter will display your glucose level after a short time: This shows your blood glucose reading.
Perform Quality Control:
- Test with control solutions when using the meter for the first time, opening a new package of test strips, or if results seem off: Ensures the meter and test strips are working correctly. The control results should match the range on the test strip packet.
Understanding the Test:
- The meter measures the electrical current generated by glucose reacting with the test strip’s reagents: This current determines your glucose level without needing further calculations.
Note on Comparison:
- Test results should be compared with laboratory methods using the same blood sample: This ensures accuracy, as glucose levels can drop quickly over time.
Warning and Precautions
- Not for Healthcare Settings: This device is not approved for use in hospitals or similar settings. It should only be used at home by individuals for personal testing, not in assisted testing environments.
- Risk of Disease Transmission: Using this device on multiple people can spread infections like HIV or Hepatitis. Avoid sharing the meter or test strips to prevent the spread of bloodborne pathogens.
- Act on Critical Test Results: If your blood sugar reading is lower than your critical level, follow your healthcare professional’s advice immediately: Do not change your medication based on test results without consulting your healthcare provider.
- High Blood Sugar Reading Procedure:
-
- Wash and Dry Hands: Ensure cleanliness to avoid contamination.
- Retest with a New Strip: This verifies if the high reading was accurate.
- Follow Medical Advice: If the reading remains high, seek guidance from your healthcare professional.
- Meter Displays LO or HI:
-
- LO Display: If your meter shows a LO screen, contact your healthcare professional right away.
- HI Display: If your meter shows a HI screen, wash the test site, retest with a new strip, and if the result is still high, follow medical advice.
- Biohazard Warning:
-
- In Vitro Diagnostic Use Only: The device is meant for testing blood glucose and should not be ingested.
- Single-Patient Use: Do not share the meter or lancing device with others to avoid risk of infection.
- Biohazard Disposal: Treat all parts of the system as potentially infectious and dispose of test strips as medical waste.
- Hand Hygiene: Always wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after handling the meter, lancing device, or test strips.
- Meter Result Variation: The meter’s reading may slightly differ from actual blood glucose levels due to testing technique and technology; therefore, minor variations are normal.
