FORA Control Solution contains a known amount of glucose that reacts
with test strips and is used to ensure your meter and test strips are
working together correctly.
Do a control solution test when:
• you first receive the meter,
• at least once a week to routinely check the meter and test strips,
• you begin using a new vial of test strips,
• you suspect the meter or test strips are not working properly,
• your blood glucose test results are not consistent with how you feel,
or if you think the results are not accurate,
• practicing the testing process, or
• you have dropped or think you may have damaged the meter.
How to Perform a Control Solution Test
When the “ ” symbol appears on the display, press the main button and
“CTL” will appear on the display. When the “CTL” sign is displayed, the

Step 2 Apply Control Solution
Shake the control solution vial well. Remove
the cap from the control solution bottle. Place
the cap on a flat surface. Squeeze the bottle,
discard the first drop, and wipe the dispenser
tip clean to prevent contamination. Squeeze
out another drop and place it on the tip of the
cap.
Hold the meter to touch the drop with the
test strip’s absorbent hole and the drop will
automatically drawn into the test strip. Make
sure the confirmation window is completely
filled. The meter begins to count down.
NOTE
Every time you perform a control solution test you must enter “CTL” test
mode so that the test result will not be stored in the meter 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.

Dear owner of a FORA G71a 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 G71a test strips and control solutions with
the FORA G71a 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 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. This system provides you with
plasma equivalent results.
The Standard Kit for This System Includes
NOTE
Check your system to ensure that it is unopened prior to use and that it
contains all parts listed above. If anything is missing or damaged, please
return your system to the place of purchase.
Step 3 Check Results
After the meter counts down to 0, the control solution test result will
appear. Compare the result with the range printed on the test strip vial.
The result should fall within this range.
NOTE
To avoid contaminating the control solution with the content of the test strip,
it is recommended that you discard the first drop and place another drop of
control solution on a clean surface first. Then touch the drop with the test
strip.

test strip’s absorbent hole and the drop will
automatically drawn into the test strip. Make
sure the confirmation window is completely
filled. The meter begins to count down.
NOTE
Every time you perform a control solution test you must enter “CTL” test
mode so that the test result will not be stored in the meter 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.

80 mg/dL is announced as 1 long beep (0) – 1 single pause – 8
single beeps (8) – 1 single pause – 1 long beep (0)
182 mg/dL is announced as 1 single beep (1) – 1 single pause – 8 single
beeps (8) – 1 single pause – 2 single beeps (2)
For mmol/L meters, the tens are always announced, even when the
result is below 10. The decimal point is represented by 1 quick beep.
Examples:
6.0 mmol/L is announced as 1 long beep (0) – 1 single pause – 6 single
