Contour Next Test Strips for Blood Glucose Testing
The Contour Next test strips from Ascensia Diabetes Care are designed for use with the Contour XT blood glucose meter, which features Ascensia Diabetes Care’s No Coding technology—no coding or calibration required. Each time a new Contour Next test strip from Ascensia Diabetes Care is inserted, the Contour XT meter is automatically and instantly calibrated using No Coding technology to ensure reliable results.
No coding or calibration is required when switching between test strip lots, allowing you to use multiple lots of test strips simultaneously. Please note that the meter complies with French standards and displays results in mg/dL

Description of Contour Next Blood Glucose Test Strips
The new Contour Next test strips from Ascensia Diabetes Care, our latest advancement in test strip technology, provide—when used with the new Contour XT and Contour Next USB blood glucose meters— and the Contour Next One, highly accurate blood glucose readings, representing our new standard of measurement accuracy.
Contour Next test strips are automatically coded. The measured blood glucose levels are highly precise, accurate, and therefore reliable.
You’ll receive highly accurate results in just five seconds—a small blood sample of only 0.6 µl is all that’s needed.
Instructions for using Contour Next test strips for self-monitoring of blood glucose
Benefits:
- Precise technology designed specifically for you
- Highly resistant to a wide range of environmental factors
- Extremely high measurement accuracy for your safety
This winning combination of meter and sensor utilizes innovative technology, providing you with blood glucose results that are even closer to those obtained in a laboratory.
The new Contour Next USB system is particularly accurate at low blood glucose levels—which is important for helping you detect hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and take appropriate action.
Technical Specifications
Contour Next test strips feature a new BPM (Ascensia Diabetes Care Proprietary Mediator), exclusive to and patented by Ascensia Diabetes Care. As a result, blood glucose results are not affected by reducing substances in the blood, whether endogenous (bilirubin, cholesterol, triglycerides, etc.) or exogenous (acetaminophen, vitamin C, ascorbic acid, etc.)...).
The Contour Next test strips contain the enzyme FAD-GDH (flavin adenine dinucleotide glucose dehydrogenase), which does not interfere with maltose, galactose, or oxygen. Contour XT can therefore be used by patients on peritoneal dialysis using an icodextrin solution.
Wide hematocrit range, from 0 to 70%.
Precautions for Use and Interferences
Reducing substances normally present in the blood (uric acid, bilirubin) or resulting from treatment (ascorbic acid, acetaminophen) do not significantly alter the results. Interferences may occur when the concentration limits for these substances exceed those listed below.
- Bilirubin > 54 mg/dl (> 0.9 mmol/l)
- Uric acid > 59 mg/dl (> 3.5 mmol/l)
- Ascorbic acid > 10 mg/dl (> 0.6 mmol/l)
- Paracetamol > 35 mg/dl (> 2.3 mmol/l)
- Maltose No interference
- Galactose No interference
- Hematocrit: Results obtained with Contour Next test strips are not significantly affected when the hematocrit value is between 0% and 70%
Do not use during or shortly after a xylose absorption test.
Contour Next Test Strip Packaging
100 test strips
How long are Contour Next test strips valid after opening the bottle?
Contour Next test strips are generally valid for 90 days after opening the bottle. Be sure to always check the expiration date on the packaging and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations to ensure accurate results.
Do Contour Next Test Strips require calibration?
No, Contour Next Test Strips are pre-calibrated, which means they do not require manual calibration. Simply insert them into your Contour Next blood glucose meter and follow the instructions to get accurate results.
Can Contour Next Test Strips be used with other blood glucose meters?
Contour Next Test Strips are specifically designed for use with Contour Next blood glucose meters. It is recommended that you use them only with these meters to ensure accurate and reliable results.
