Ascensia Contour Plus One

Description:

The Ascensia Contour Plus One is an automatic blood glucose meter. Its blood glucose measurement technology has been proven to be accurate, with a 3-star Medaval rating. Blood glucose measurements are taken from the finger. It is intended for self-measurement and home use.

Assessment:

The technology used in the Ascensia Contour Plus One, to measure blood glucose, is among the best rated for accuracy by Medaval Ltd. It has passed in three clinical validation studies, between general and specific populations, according to recognised standard protocols, as published in peer-reviewed publications.

Recommendations:

	Accuracy Assessment	Recommendation	Basis
BG	Medaval	★★★ Recommendation	Recent clinical validation; recent protocol; multiple clinical validations
BG	MDR Criteria	Self-measurement	Published evidence
