BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Intended Use

The FORA GTel Multi-Functional Monitoring System consists of the
FORA GTel Blood Glucose Test Strips, FORA GTel Blood β-ketone Test
Strips, and the FORA GTel meter.
The FORA GTel Multi-Functional Monitoring System is intended for use
in the quantitative measurement of glucose and β-ketone in fresh
capillary whole blood from the finger.
It is intended for in vitro diagnostic use by people with diabetes mellitus
at home as an aid in monitoring the effectiveness of your diabetes
control program. It is not intended for the diagnosis of or screening for
diabetes mellitus, and is not intended for use on neonates. It is
intended to be used by a single person and should not be shared.

Test Principle

Your system measures the amount of sugar (glucose) and β-ketone in
whole blood. The glucose and β-ketone testing is based on the
measurement of electrical current generated by the reaction of glucose
and β-ketone with the reagent of the strip. The meter measures the
current, calculates the blood glucose and β-ketone levels, and displays
the result. The strength of the current produced by the reaction
depends on the amount of glucose and β-ketone in the blood sample.
