Essential Features for Testing

alternate site testing capability allows for more options — test on
your fi ngertip, palm or forearm.
Designed for Simplicity
The C ONTOUR TS Meter is easy to learn and use. The two large
buttons enable simple navigation, while the large LCD display is
easy to read. The orange test strip port makes for easy test strip
insertion.
Overall Convenience
With its optimal size, the C ONTOUR TS Meter fi ts well in the palm
of your hand. It is compact and portable. It provides the accuracy
you need with the ease of use you want.
Performance Data Summary
The international standard, ISO 15197, requires that at least 95%
of the results from blood glucose meters should be within 20% of
laboratory results when equal to or above 75 mg/dL and within 15
mg/dL when below 75 mg/dL. The C
ONTOUR TS System exceeded
this goal. A study was conducted on 105 untrained users with
diabetes, testing fi ngertip blood, to see how well the C
ONTOUR TS
System compared to laboratory results. The study demonstrated
that 97.9% of the C
ONTOUR TS System results were within the
accuracy standard.
