Read the following Safety Information thoroughly before using the device.
• Use this device ONLY for the intended use described in this manual. • Do NOT
use accessories which are not specified by the manufacturer. • Do NOT use the
device if it is not working properly or damaged. • This device does NOT serve as
a cure for any symptoms or diseases. The data measured is for reference only.
Always consult your doctor to have the results interpreted. • The blood glucose and
the blood glucose/ hematocrit/ hemoglobin test strips can be used for the testing of
newborns. • The β-Ketone, total cholesterol and uric acid test strips shall NOT be
used for the testing of newborns. • Before using this device, read all instructions
thoroughly and practice the test. Carry out all the quality control checks as directed.
• Keep the device and testing supplies away from young children. Small items such
as the battery cover, batteries, test strips, lancets and vial caps are choking hazards.
• Do NOT use this instrument in close proximity to sources of strong electromagnetic
radiation, as these may interfere with the correct operation. • Proper maintenance as
well as timely calibration of the device together with the control solution is essential
in ensuring the longevity of your device. If you are concerned about the accuracy
of the measurement, please contact the place of purchase or customer service
representative for assistance. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE
Important Information
• Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause readings which are
lower than actual values. If you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration,
consult a healthcare professional immediately. • If your test results are lower or
higher than usual, and you do not have symptoms of illness, first repeat the test.
If you have symptoms or continue to get results higher or lower than usual, follow
the treatment advice of your healthcare professional. • Use only fresh whole blood
sample to perform a test. Using other substances will lead to incorrect results. •
If you are experiencing symptoms that are inconsistent with your test results and
you have followed all the instructions given in this owner's manual, contact your
healthcare professional. • We do not recommend using this product on severely
hypotensive individuals or patients in shock. Readings which are lower than actual
values may occur for individuals experiencing a hyperglycaemic-hyperosmolar
state, with or without ketosis. Please consult the healthcare professional before
use. • The measurement unit used for indicating the concentration of blood glucose
can have mg/dL or mmol/L. The approximate calculation rule for conversion of mg/
dL in mmol/L is:
mg/dL Divided by 18
mmol/L Times 18
For example:
1) 120 mg/dL ÷ 18 = 6.6 mmol/L
2) 7.2 mmol/L x 18 = 129 mg/dL approximately
= mmol/L
= mg/dL
Introduction
Intended Use
This system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by people
with diabetes at home and by health- care professionals in clinical settings as an
aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. It is intended to be used for the
quantitative measurement of the blood glucose, hematocrit, hemoglobin, β-ketone,
total cholesterol and uric acid levels in whole blood. It should not be used for the
diagnosis of diabetes.
Professionals may test with capillary and venous blood sample. Use only heparin for
anticoagulation of whole blood.
Home use is limited to capillary blood from the finger tip and the approved sites.
Test Principle
With different types of test strips, your FORA 6 Connect Multi-functional Monitoring
System allows you to measure the amount of blood glucose, hematocrit, hemoglobin,
β-Ketone, total cholesterol and uric acid levels in whole blood. The testing is based
on the measurement of electrical current generated by the reaction of different
substance with the reagent of the strip. The meter measures the current, calculates
the blood glucose, hematocrit, hemoglobin, β-Ketone, total cholesterol or uric acid,
and displays the result.
The strength of the current produced by the reaction depends on the amount of the
substance in the blood sample.
