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, rst 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
mmol/L Times 18 = mg/dL
For example:
1) 120 mg/dL ÷ 18 = 6.6 mmol/L
2) 7.2 mmol/L x 18 = 129 mg/dL approximately

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, ß-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 nger tip and the approved sites.
Test Principle
With different types of test strips, your FORA 6 Plus / 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.
