What Affects Accuracy in Todays Blood Glucose
Testing ?
  • User Technique
  • System Limitation
  • The CONTOUR brand meters are designed to ensure
    accuracy of testing
  • because they address those issues that affect
    accuracy
  • User technique (or user mistakes/errors)
  • System limitations
  • In other words, in order to ensure accurate
    testing, a meter should be
  • manufactured with features or software that take
    into account and mitigate
  • those mistakes that may happen when testing in
    real life.
  • The CONTOUR TS meters automatic features, orange
    test strip port,
  • flashing E, and enhanced test strip
    sensitivities mitigate the most common
  • system and user errors.

FAQs
  • What does TS in CONTOUR TS stand for? TS
    stands for "Total Simplicity.
  • Does the CONTOUR TS use the same strips as the
    CONTOUR meter?No, they use different strips.
    While both the CONTOUR TS test strips and
    CONTOUR test strips have Bayers No Coding
    technology, one will not work with the other. The
    CONTOUR TS meter will only work with the CONTOUR
    TS test strips.
  • Why should I offer the CONTOUR TS meter over
    another meter? With its simple design,
    easy-to-read display, large buttons, and orange
    test strip port, along with Bayers No Coding
    technology, the CONTOUR TS meter gives total
    simplicity at a competitive price.
  • Where is the CONTOUR TS meter going to be
    available? The CONTOUR TS meter will be
    available to patients nationwide primarily
    through authorized Mail Order distributors.
  • When will the CONTOUR TS system be
    available?In September 2007. The CONTOUR TS
    meter has been added to all Bayers distributor
    contracts.

FAQs
  • Do I need to convert CONTOUR patients to CONTOUR
    TS?No. The CONTOUR TS meter is a new system for
    your patients. It is also a great option for
    patients currently using other meters that
    require coding. Bayer will now be supporting the
    new CONTOUR TS system, the CONTOUR system, and
    the BREEZE 2 system.
  • Will CONTOUR TS no-charge meters be available
    from Bayer?Yes. CONTOUR TS deluxe meter kits
    (Product Code 1802N) are available at no charge
    for new patients and patients formerly on other
    systems. There are also For-Sale Simple Pack Kits
    (Product Code 1801) available. Ask your Bayer
    sales representative for further details.
  • lf a patient calls, how will I know they are
    using the CONTOUR or CONTOUR TS meter? The
    CONTOUR TS test strip vial has an orange label
    and the CONTOUR TS meter is dark blue with an
    orange test strip port for greater visibility.

FAQs
  • Will the CONTOUR TS be compatible with
    WinGlucofacts? Yes. However, the patient needs
    to select CONTOUR.
  • Will CONTOUR TS be advertised promoted in any
    diabetes journals?The CONTOUR TS meter will be
    advertised in consumer diabetes publications that
    reach Medicare and Mail Order customers, such as
    AARP. Promotion of base CONTOUR in diabetes
    journals geared to the HCP, as well as TV
    advertising, will drive "CONTOUR" brand awareness
    and have a halo effect on CONTOUR TS meter sales
    in Mail Order.
