Formerly called Ascencia Contour Microfill Test Strips, Ascensia Contour Test Strips is from the family of home blood glucose monitoring systems developed by Bayer.  Designed to work in conjunction with the Ascensia Contour Blood Glucose Meter, the test strips come with new and improved features to make blood glucose monitoring faster and more convenient than ever before.

Less Pain, More Gain: By using Sip-in Sampling Technology, Ascensia test strips can automatically draw in and fill strip with blood sample. The strips require no more than a mere 0.6 µL sample of blood to give an accurate result. Small blood volume means that use of Ascencia Contour Test Strips entails less discomfort and pain during extraction of blood samples.

Alternate test sites: The test strips also allow diabetics the option of drawing blood samples from test sites other than the fingers. You can extract blood samples from less sensitive areas like the forearm, and so prevent trauma to the fingers caused by repeated pricking on the same sites.

Visual Verification: A visible window indicator allows you to easily see how much blood is already wicked onto the strip.  You can easily view sample fills and determine when there’s enough sample on the strip already.

Speedy Results: Why wait a minute to get your test results? Why wait 30 seconds? Ascensia Contour Test Strips gives you accurate results in only 5 seconds. This speed is a vast improvement on the old Ascencia test strips, which would take 15 seconds to yield results.

No Manual Coding: Most home blood glucose meters require you to punch in a code or insert a chip with each new batch of test strips. When you use Ascensia test strips, this step is completely removed, making testing process much quicker. The Ascencia Contour Test Strips also eliminates the risk of inaccurate test results due to miscoding. They can be readily used right out of the box. Just insert the gray electrode end of the test strip into the meter, and the meter will turn on automatically.

Strip Safety: The patented flip-top bottle design securely holds 50 test strips, which are kept fresh and dry by the built-in desiccant. This ensures that your test strips are kept accurate and ready for use for up to six months after opening. Other brands of test strips expire within 3 months after opening.

Before using Ascencia Contour Test Strips, make sure that you read the package insert. Store your test strips in room temperature and away from direct sunlight to lengthen life of your test strips. Never use the test strips after the expiration date found on the bottom of the box.
