Introduction to the FORA ADVANCED pro GD40
The FORA ADVANCED pro GD40 is a sophisticated Blood Glucose and ß-Ketone Monitoring System designed for both home use by individuals with diabetes and clinical settings by healthcare professionals. This system aids in monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes control by providing quantitative measurements of glucose and ß-hydroxybutyrate (Ketone) using fresh whole blood samples from the fingertip.
Additionally, the system includes a test for hematocrit (HCT), which quantifies the packed red blood cell volume fraction in capillary whole blood. This feature assists in monitoring the status of red blood cells and ensures the blood sample is within the acceptable range for the monitoring system. For detailed instructions on setup, testing procedures, and important safety information, please refer to the comprehensive owner's manual.
Key Features and Intended Use
This device is intended for in vitro diagnostic use. It utilizes electrical current generated by the reaction between glucose or ß-Ketone and the strip's reagent to determine blood levels. The system supports testing from finger tip, venous, and arterial blood, with home use specifically limited to capillary blood from the fingertip.
The manual provides detailed guidance on:
- Initial setup, including date, time, and tone settings.
- Calibration and control solution testing to ensure accuracy.
- Performing blood glucose and ß-Ketone tests.
- Understanding the screen display and test results.
- Safety precautions and important information for proper usage.
