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, 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 finger tip and
the approved sites.

Test Principle

With different types of test strips, your FORA 6 GTel Multi-
functional Monitoring System allows you to measure the
amount of blood glucose, 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, 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.
