This improved version of the CONTOUR® meter (black and silver design), sometimes known as the 'Black Edition'. It meets the more stringent EN ISO 15197:2015 accuracy requirements,1,2 but functions in exactly the same way as the original meter, using the same strips. The only visible difference is the change in colour from blue/purple/green and silver to black and silver.
