The Benefits of Contour Plus

Simple to Use
Contour Plus is ready to test right out of the box. You don't need to code it or set it up. It has a large display and easy to use buttons. It also has a Second-Chance sampling feature that allows you to apply more blood to the same test strip if the first sample was not enough, without wasting a strip or re-pricking your finger.
Highly Accurate
Contour Plus delivers accurate results that are closer to lab results, so you can test with confidence. It has been shown to have an error margin of 0.56 mmol / L or 10% in the overall range, which meets the ISO 15197:2013 accuracy criteria. It also has a proven accuracy even after applying more blood to the same strip.
Customisable Features
Contour Plus has features that help you personalise and optimise your blood glucose management. You can set your own HI/LO target ranges, which are colour-coded on the meter display for easy interpretation. You can also view weekly HI/LO summaries and 7-, 14-, and 30-day averages to get a snapshot of your current blood glucose status. You can also add meal markers and audible reminders to help you track how food impacts your blood glucose and remember to test after eating.
How to Use Contour Plus
Using Contour Plus is very easy. You only need three steps to get a reliable reading:
Step 1: Insert Test Strip
Insert a Contour Plus test strip into the meter and the meter will switch on automatically.
Step 2: Apply Blood Sample
Lance your finger with the Microlet Next lancing device and apply a small drop of blood to the test strip. The meter will beep when it detects enough blood.

How to Interpret Your Test Result
Contour Plus helps you interpret your test result with its smart features:
The SmartCOLOUR Indicator
The smartCOLOUR indicator is a colour-coded system that shows you whether your test result is within, above, or below your personalised HI/LO target ranges. The colours are green, yellow, and red, corresponding to in range, above range, and below range, respectively. The smartCOLOUR indicator helps you see at a glance how your blood glucose levels are trending and whether you need to take any action.
The Personalised HI/LO Target Ranges
You can set your own HI/LO target ranges on the Contour Plus meter, based on your doctor's recommendations or personal preferences. The default ranges are 4.0 to 7.0 mmol / L for fasting and before meal, and 5.0 to 10.0 mmol / L for after meal. You can change these ranges anytime by using the meter settings menu. The personalised HI/LO target ranges help you monitor your blood glucose levels more closely and adjust your diabetes management plan accordingly.
The Weekly HI/LO Summaries and Averages
You can view weekly HI/LO summaries and 7-, 14-, and 30-day averages on the Contour Plus meter, by pressing the left or right buttons on the meter display. The weekly HI/LO summaries show you how many times your test results were in range, above range, or below range in the past week. The averages show you your mean blood glucose level for the past 7, 14, or 30 days. These features help you get a better understanding of your blood glucose patterns and trends over time and identify areas for improvement.
