CONTOUR®PLUS meters feature Second-Chance® sampling, which clearly prompts patients to apply more blood to the same test strip when the first sample is not enough:
• Helps reduce frustration at having to re-lance*1
• Helps to reduce wasted strips*1
• Highly accurate, even after applying more blood to the same strip**2
CONTOUR® meters will display blood glucose measurements in either mmol/L or mg/dL, depending on your country’s standard metric.
*Indicated in an online survey of 400 HCPs and patients with diabetes in US, CAN, DE and UK as a potential benefit of Second-Chance® sampling.
**The percentage of accurate results obtained using a correction algorithm for blood sample re-application during blood glucose test strips underfill conditions exceeded the accuracy criterion based on ISO 15197:2013, with 99.1% of results falling within ±0.8 mmol/L (±15 mg/dL) or ±15% of the reference result for samples with glucose concentrations <5.6 mmol/L (<100 mg/dL) and ≥5.6 mmol/L (≥100 mg/dL), respectively.2

CONTOUR®PLUS meters come with No Coding® technology as standard, removing the need to manually code the meter before testing, eliminating errors due to user miscoding.

We've refined our strip technology to make it as simple as possible for you to get a successful blood glucose reading.
CONTOUR®PLUS meters require only a small drop of blood to register a reading ‐ only 0.6µl. That's one ten thousandth of a teaspoon!
There is just a 5 second countdown between applying your sample and getting a result with CONTOUR®PLUS blood glucose meter systems.
