It is intended for in vitro diagnostic use only. The clinical utility of this device is that it may be used as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of a diabetes control program. The C ONTOUR NEXT LINK 2.4 wireless blood glucose monitoring system is intended to be used to transmit glucose values and send a remote bolus to compatible MiniMed 640G Insulin Pump and facilitate transfer of information to Medtronic CareLink ® Software through use of radio frequency communication. The CONTOUR NEXT LINK 2.4 wireless blood glucose monitoring system from Bayer is not intended for the diagnosis of or screening for diabetes mellitus and it is not intended for use on neonates. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNINGS • Use a new lancet each time you test because it is no longer sterile after use. • Always dispose of test strips and lancets as medical waste or as advised by your health care professional. All products that come in contact with human blood should be handled as if capable of transmitting infectious diseases. PRECAUTIONS • Read your CONTOUR ® NEXT LINK 2.4 user guide, the lancing device package insert, your MiniMed ® pump user guide and all instructional materials provided in your meter kit before testing. Please follow all instructions for use and care exactly as described to help avoid inaccurate results. • Examine product for missing, damaged, or broken parts. If the test strip bottle is open inside a new box of strips, do not use those strips. For replacement parts, contact Customer Service. Please see back cover for contact information. • The C ONTOUR ® NEXT LINK 2.4 meter from Bayer only works with CONTOUR ® NEXT test strips and C ONTOUR ® NEXT control solutions. • Always keep the C ONTOUR NEXT test strips in their original bottle. Tightly close the bottle immediately after removing a test strip. The bottle is designed to keep the test strips dry. Avoid exposing meter and test strips to excessive humidity, heat, cold, dust, and dirt. Exposure to room humidity from leaving the bottle open or not storing the strips in their original bottle can damage your test strips. This could lead to inaccurate results. Do not use a test strip that appears damaged or has been used. • Check the expiry dates on your test strips and control solution. Do not use the test strips or control solution if the expiry date printed on the bottle label and carton has passed. This can cause inaccurate results. For the control solution, do not use if it has been 6 months since you first opened the bottle. After first opening the bottle, write the 6-month discard date on the control solution label. • If your control solution test result is out of range, contact Customer Service. Please see back cover for contact information. Do not use the meter for blood glucose testing until you resolve this issue. • The meter has been designed to give accurate results at temperatures between 5° to 45°C. If you are outside this range, you should not test. Whenever the meter is moved from one location to another, allow approximately 20 minutes for the meter to adjust to the temperature of the new location before performing a blood glucose test. • Do not perform a blood glucose test when the C ONTOUR NEXT LINK 2.4 meter is connected to a computer. • Use only approved cables or wall charger from the manufacturer or a 5V charger approved by a certified body such as UL, TUV or CSA. • The C ONTOUR ® NEXT LINK 2.4 meter from Bayer has been preset and locked to display results in mmol/L (millimoles of glucose per litre of blood).  Results in mmol/L will always have a decimal point;  Results in mg/dL will never have a decimal point. Example: . or 93  Check your display screen to be sure the results are shown the right way. If not, please see Customer Service contact information on the back cover of this user guide. • The C ONTOUR NEXT LINK 2.4 wireless blood glucose monitoring system from Bayer has a measuring range of 1.1 mmol/L to 33.3 mmol/L.  For results under 1.1 mmol/L or over 33.3 mmol/L; о If your blood sugar reading is under 1.1 mmol/L, the “Follow Medical Advice Immediately” screen will display and the meter will beep twice. Contact your health care professional. The C ONTOUR NEXT LINK 2.4 wireless blood glucose monitoring system is intended for single-patient use only and should not be shared. Serious Illness • Capillary (fingerstick or Alternative Site) blood gluc…

BGM and Pump needs to go through association process to connect to each other before BG value or Bolus can be sent from the BGM to the Pump. In its simplie st form, the system consists of a Pump coordinator and BGM endnode. The coordinator is the center of a star wireless network that may contain multiple BGM end nodes. The BGM Bol us functi on allows se nding a manual or preset bol us from BGM to the Pump if the pump and BGM are connected. A manual or preset bol us can be sent from the test results screen or from the Main Menu. The Re mote Bolus feature can be turned on/turned off at the pump. To summarize, to se nd a bolus from t he BGM, the BGM must be connected to the pump and the Remote Bolus feature must be turned O N at the pump. Description of EUT exercising: For the transmit mode, the meter was set from 2420-2480MHz, whic h was monitored by a spectrum analyzer to determine consistent signal strength during the test, and placed in an idle mode for non-transmit tests.
