Bayer CONTOUR USB Blood Glucose Meter The Worldโ€ s First Plug-n-Play Blood Glucose Meter With Integrated Monitoring Software

After spending hours and hours writing about seemingly random and
utterly useless USB-powered devices (you know what they are, so I won t
waste more space writing about them) it s nice to see that a company has
actually taken the time to come up with a USB gadget that might, just
might mean something to the world. Bayer, creators of the Wonder Drug
that Works Wonders, have done it again with their latest invention, the
Bayer CONTOUR USB blood glucose meter. Take one part plug-n-play USB 2.0
device, one part high-tech blood glucose monitor and one part
user-friendly software program and you get the CONTOUR USB.
Bayer has been in the market of blood glucose monitors for some time now
with their CONTOUR meters so it s no surprise that they happen to be the
first to hit the market with a USB-powered version. Not only can you
plug the CONTOUR USB directly into your computer, it comes complete with
an integrated software program called Glucoacts DELUXE to help manage
the information once you get it there. The CONTOUR USB is designed to
work with both the PC and Mac and can store up to 2,000 individual test
results. It s this type of technology that will enable patients to take
a more active role in managing their health with their doctors.
The unit is not much bigger than a traditional USB flash drive and
sports a bright color display screen visible in any light that shows
average, high and low readings with customizable features such as
intuitive pre- and post-meal marking. Testing with the new device only
take about five seconds and a miniscule sample (0.6 ฮผL if you actually
wanted to know). The CONTOUR USB has 500MB of built-in flash memory and
can be recharged with an active USB port of the included AC
wall-charging adapter.
Bayer s CONTOUR USB meter will soon be available for sale in the U.S.
