Ascensia Contour Test Strips

What are Ascensia Contour Test Strips?

Ascensia Contour Test Strips are used with Ascensia Contour blood glucose meters to measure blood sugar levels.

These strips come in a small bottle with a flip-top lid, making them easy to handle. To use, you take a test strip from the bottle, ensuring the lid is tightly closed afterward.

Insert the gray end of the strip into the meter, which will automatically turn on and display a flashing blood drop symbol, indicating that it is ready to test.

It is important to check the expiration date and ensure the strip is not damaged for accurate results.

Only use Ascensia Contour Test Strips with the Ascensia Contour meter to ensure proper performance.

How to Use Ascensia Contour Test Strips?

Ascensia Contour test strips are easy to use. Follow the steps below:

Step 1: Insert the Test Strip

• Take an Ascensia Contour test strip from the bottle.
• Insert the gray end of the strip into the test strip port on your meter.
• The meter will automatically turn on and display a flashing blood drop symbol, indicating it is ready to test.

Step 2: Get a Drop of Blood

• Use a lancing device to prick your fingertip and get a small drop of blood.
• Ensure the blood drop is sufficient to fully fill the test strip’s sample area.

Step 3: Apply Blood to the Test Strip

• Gently touch the test strip to the blood drop. The strip will absorb the blood, and the meter will beep to confirm it has enough for testing.

Step 4: View Your Results

• Your blood glucose level will appear on the meter’s screen within a few seconds. After the reading, you can safely discard the test strip.

• Prepare all materials before testing: Make sure you have your Ascensia Contour meter, test strips, and lancing device ready to avoid interruptions during testing.
• Check expiration dates: Do not use expired test strips, as they can give inaccurate results. Write the discard date on the bottle when you open it.
• Allow the meter to adjust to temperature: Let the meter and strips sit for about 20 minutes if you move them to a different location to ensure accurate results.
