The CONTOUR PLUS ELITE system has been shown to meet and exceed the minimum accuracy requirements of ISO 15197:2013, helping provide dependable readings for routine glucose monitoring.

Small Blood Sample:
With a blood sample requirement of approximately 0.6 µL, the system is designed to make routine finger-stick testing more convenient.

Fast Results:
The meter provides a blood glucose result in approximately 5 seconds, allowing users to complete testing quickly.

smartLIGHT® Target Range Indicator:
The colored smartLIGHT® indicator provides an easy visual reference showing whether a reading is above, within, or below the user’s personalized target range. This can make glucose results easier to interpret at a glance.

Second-Chance® Sampling:
If the first blood sample is insufficient, the meter provides a 60-second opportunity to add more blood to the same test strip, which can help reduce unnecessary strip wastage and avoid having to perform another finger prick.

Large numbers and simple controls make the meter convenient for regular home testing. The system does not require an initial setup before testing.

800-Test Memory:
The meter can store up to 800 blood glucose results, while built-in averages help users review glucose patterns over different periods.

Bluetooth Connectivity:
The CONTOUR PLUS ELITE can connect with the CONTOUR®DIABETES app, allowing compatible smartphones or tablets to automatically synchronize glucose readings. The app can provide additional tools for reviewing patterns, keeping an electronic diary, and sharing reports with healthcare professionals.
