Question 1

What 's in the box?  Thanks.

Accepted Answer

I just got mine from my pharmacist because Medicare will no longer pay for the test strip drums for my Accucheck. :( Anyway, the box contains the meter a bunch of literature, an ad for their Home A1C meter with a $7-off coupon, 10 test strips, a lancet device, 10 lancets, 2.5 ml of control solution, a very cheap wallet, two log books, the manual, a quick reference guide, toll-free number for 24/7 care, their web site info, a card with a mysterious 7-digit number. Another card which says if you register, they will send you a free gift, your choice of a better wallet or 25 free lancets. The card also says that when you register,you can join the Contour Choice Program, which will give you free replacement batteries, extended warranty, and discounts on the test strips. Though a Choice Program membership card is already included in the box anyway.It does NOT come with a cable to connect the device to the computer. If you want to download your test results to a computer USB port, you need to buy a $15 cable directly from Bayer. I don't know how much they charge for shipping it. Their software is allegedly free, but you have to fill out a lot of information about yourself before they let you download it. I have just called their tech support and was told their software is proprietary. I asked because I use Microsoft HealthVault. According to the support guy, their driver is not compatible with HealthVault.Anyway, this is much more information than you requested, so I believe I have answered your question.

Question 2

Is contourr next ez meter downloadable to pc

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is.  However, doing so requires an overpriced USB cable.  The necessary software is free from Bayer, but be aware that it only works with Windows.  There is no Mac version.

Question 3

what all comes in the box

Accepted Answer

You get the "Contour next EZ", a cheap case, a Microlet2 and about 10 lancets.  Probably included a few test strips, but, I don't remember.  At any rate you should but additional test strips. These are "Contour Next" strips.  I think the device is a little more accurate than my previous one.  The strips are also slightly more expensive.  Good Luck

Question 4

are the lancets able to be used for multiple people? say i want to use this at a summer camp and may potentially be testing several campers? are the lancets in a "pen-like" tester that houses several lancets or do you insert a new lancet each time?

Accepted Answer

The lancets are single-load, single-use. So you would have to manually remove the old lancet and add a new one. You would also need to follow proper procedures regarding sterilization of the lancet device between patients
