What is Contour Plus Kit Combi Pack used for?
Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) in people with diabetes; checking capillary blood glucose levels at home as advised by a doctor
How Contour Plus Kit Combi Pack Works
The Contour Plus system uses electrochemical technology: glucose in the blood reacts on the test strip to generate an electrical signal. The meter converts this signal into a blood glucose reading for monitoring and treatment decisions.
Dosage & Directions
Use only Contour Plus compatible test strips. Insert strip into meter, prick fingertip with lancing device, apply a small drop of capillary blood to the strip and wait for the reading. Follow the user manual for coding/calibration (if applicable), strip handling, and disposal of lancets; test frequency as advised by your clinician.
Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
