What is Contour Next Ez?

Contour Next Ez is a portable glucose testing meter. Contour Next Ez measures and records blood glucose levels from testing strips, stores the data, displays 7-, 14-, and 30-day averages, and helps diabetic patients track blood glucose levels.

The bulk of the expense of a blood glucose meter is in the testing strips, which are used once and thrown away. Contour Next Ez helps to prevent wasting testing strips by allowing for second chance sampling on the same strip if a reading can't be made. In addition, Contour Next Ez will sound a small beep to indicate when enough blood is on the strip to help prevent users from using the strips incorrectly.

Contour Next Ez records blood glucose levels taken from a blood sample acquired by lancing the tip of a finger. The test strip is inserted into the meter. The patient lances their fingertip and touches the end of the test strip to the blood drop forming on the end of the finger. The blood is then absorbed into the test strip until the meter beeps to indicate that enough blood is present for a test. The meter will display the test results in a few seconds; results will be immediately stored in the device's permanent memory. The strip is then pulled out of the meter and disposed of.

What are the side effects of Contour Next Ez?

Contour Next Ez is a medical device that does not have side effects when used as directed, but is instead subject to device failures. These may result from a problem with the device or incorrect use of the device. Decisions based on inaccurate results because of device failure may threaten he health of the user.

To reduce the risk, understand and follow directions carefully. Keep both the meter and the testing strips away from heat and humidity. Do not use outdated, dirty, or contaminated testing strips. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before testing.

To reduce the risk of the device not functioning accurately or correctly, regularly use glucose meter testing solutions available at your pharmacy to test the device. Use the meter to test your blood glucose levels immediately before or after a blood sample is drawn for a lab test. If the lab glucose reading is within 15 percent of your meter reading, the meter can be considered accurate. If it is not, consult with your physician.
