CONTOUR®NEXT LINK 2.4 is the only blood glucose monitoring system
(BGMS) approved as part of the MiniMed® 630G system with SmartGuardTM.
The meter is designed to be used exclusively for Continuous Glucose
Monitoring (CGM) calibration and insulin administration decisions as part of
the MiniMed 630G system.
The CONTOUR NEXT LINK 2.4 BGMS is highly accurate and has been
demonstrated to close the gap between laboratory accuracy and real world
test results.11 Clinical studies show that differences in BGMS accuracy
could result in clinically important differences in insulin dosing.12, 13
Uses only CONTOUR®NEXT blood glucose test strips from Bayer
