Contour® USB is the first meter with integrated Plug & Play diabetes management software designed to simplify personal diabetes management.

Bayer has launched the first blood glucose meter with integrated Plug & Play diabetes management software. The new Contour® USB makes it easier for people with diabetes to actively manage their condition and can store up to 2,000 test results. It also has important additional features such as pre- and post-meal marking and storage of information on activity, stress and sickness.

The stored data can be opened on a computer via USB port. There the data can be displayed and analyzed in graphic or table form via Plug & Play – without cables, downloading or installation, enabling users to access an overview of their test results at any time. Patients can also email daily, weekly and monthly overviews of their blood glucose levels to their doctor as PDF files, or the doctor can analyze them on an office PC during patients’ visits.

Contour® USB is based on Bayer’s proven Contour® technology. It does not require user coding, needs only 0.6 microliters of blood and delivers the reading in only five seconds.
