IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ BEFORE USE
Dear owners of FORA Diamond MINI Blood Glucose Monitoring System,
The system consists of three main products: the meter, test strips and
control solutions. These products have been designed, tested, and proven
to work together as a system to produce accurate blood glucose test
results. Only use FORA Diamond MINI test strips and control solutions
with the FORA Diamond MINI Blood Glucose Monitoring System.
INTENDED USE
This system is intended for external use (in vitro diagnostic use) only.
It is used for the quantitative measurement of glucose in samples of
venous whole blood and fresh capillary whole blood taken from the palm,
forearm, upper arm, calf, thigh, or fingers. It is not intended to diagnose
or screen for diabetes mellitus, or to be used on neonates.
Professionals may test with capillary and venous blood sample; home
use is limited to capillary whole blood testing. Use only heparin for
anticoagulation of whole blood.
This system provides you with plasma equivalent results.
The measurement unit used for indicating the concentration of blood or
plasma glucose can either have a weight dimension (mg/dL) or a molarity
(mmol/L). The approximate calculation rule for conversion of mg/dL in
mmol/L is:
mg/dL
mmol/L
Divided by 18
Times 18
= mmol/L
= mg/dL
For example;
1) 120 mg/dL ÷ 18 = 6.6 mmol/L
2) 7.2 mmol/L x 18 = 129 mg/dL
approximately.

FORA Diamond MINI TEST STRIPS
SETTING THE METER AND DELETING
THE MEMORY
Your system measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in whole
blood. Blood is applied to the absorbent hole on the test strip and is
automatically drawn into the reaction cell where the reaction takes place.
Start with the meter off (no test strip inserted). Press SET.
Absorbent Hole
Apply a drop of blood here.
The blood will be automatically absorbed.
Confirmation Window
This is where you confirm if enough
blood has been applied to the absorbent
hole in the strip

CHECKING THE SYSTEM WITH
CONTROL SOLUTIONS
Our control solutions contain a known amount of glucose that reacts with
test strips. By comparing the result of your control solution test with the
expected range printed on the test strip vial label, you can check that the
meter and the test strips are working together as a system and that you
are performing the test correctly. It is very important that you perform this
simple check routinely to make sure you get accurate results.
