About the FORA iDiamond Blood

Glucose Monitoring System

Test Strip

Apply a drop of blood here.

The blood will be automatically

absorbed.

Conrmation Window

This is where you conrm if

enough blood has been applied

to the absorbent hole in the strip.

Test Strip Handle

Hold this part to insert

the test strip into the slot

Contact Bars

Insert this end of the test

strip into the meter. Push

it in rmly until it will go

no further.

The front side of test strip

should face up when inserting

test strip.

Test results might be wrong

if the contact bar is not fully

inserted into the test slot.

ATTENTION:

NOTE:

The FORA iDiamond monitor should only be used

with FORA iDiamond Test Strips. Using other

test strips with this meter can produce inaccurate

results.

How to Install and Update the

Updating

When new features are added to the iFORA App,

the App Store will notify you automatically. Please

perform the updates accordingly to provide you

with the latest features that we have developed in

your best interest.

Important Health-related Information

● Severe dehydration and excessive water loss

may cause readings which are lower than

actual values. If you believe you are suffering

from severe dehydration, consult a healthcare

professional immediately.

● If your blood glucose results are lower or higher

than usual, and you do not have any symptoms

of illness, rst repeat the test. If you have

symptoms or continue to get results which are

higher or lower than usual, follow the treatment

advice of your healthcare professional.

● Use only fresh whole blood samples to test

your blood glucose. Using other substances will

lead to incorrect results.

● If you are experiencing symptoms that are

inconsistent with your blood glucose test results

and you have followed all the instructions given

in this owner’s manual, contact your healthcare

professional.

● We do not recommend using this product on

severely hypotensive individuals or patients in

shock. Readings which are lower than actual

values may occur for 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 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 Divided by 18 = mmol/L

mmol/L Times 18 = mg/dL

For example;

1) 120 mg/dL ÷ 18 = 6.6 mmol/L

2) 7.2 mmol/L x 18 = 129 mg/dL approximately.

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 setting as an aid to monitoring the

effectiveness of diabetes control. It is intended

to be used for the quantitative measurement of

glucose (sugar) in fresh whole blood samples

(from the nger, palm, forearm, upper arm, calf

and thigh). It should not be used for the diagnosis

of diabetes, or testing on newborns.

Professionals may test with capillary and venous

blood sample; home use is limited to capillary

whole blood testing. Venous blood must be

collected only in heparin blood collection tube.

Test Principle

Your system measures the amount of sugar

(glucose) in whole blood. The glucose testing is

based on the measurement of electrical current

generated by the reaction of glucose with the

reagent of the strip. The meter measures the

current, calculates the blood glucose level, and

displays the result. The strength of the current

produced by the reaction depends on the amount

of glucose in the blood sample.

Important Information about

Performing Control Solution

Tests

Our 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.

Test strips, control solutions, or sterile lancets

may not be included in the kit (please check

the contents on your product box). They can be

purchased separately. Please make sure you

have those items needed for a blood glucose test

beforehand.

Do a control solution test when:

● you rst receive the meter,

● at least once a week to routinely check the

meter and test strips,

How to Perform a Control Solution Test

● 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.

You will need:

1. Meter

2. Test Strip

3. Control Solution

Connecting

1. Plug in FORA iDiamond

Connect FORA iDiamond with the iOS device, a

“connecting” message will appear on the screen

and follows by the message “insert the test strip

into the meter”. Please follow the instruction and

insert the test strip into FORA iDiamond.

2. Select the QC option on the screen to mark

this test as s control solution test.

● The meter provides you with ve measurement

modes, each are:

You can select the required mode by:

selecting between , , , and QC mode.

When “QC” is selected, the control solution test

result will appear on the screen however the meter

will not store the test result in the memory of the

iOS device.

WARNING:

When doing the control solution test, you have to

mark it so that the test result will not be stored in

the memory. Failure to do so will mix up the blood

glucose test results with the control solution test

results in memory.

3. Apply Control Solution

Shake the control solution vial thoroughly before

use.

Squeeze out a drop and wipe it off, then squeeze

out another drop and place it on the tip of the

vial cap. Hold the meter to move the absorbent

hole of the test strip to touch the drop. Once the

conrmation window lls completely, the meter will

start processing. To avoid contaminating the control

solution, do not directly apply control solution onto a

strip.

4. Read and Compare the Result

After “Processing” message appears, the control

solution test result will then show on the display.

Compare this result with the range printed on the

test strip vial and it should fall within this range. If

not, please read the instructions again and repeat

the control solution test.

An example: (136mg/dL = 7.5 mmol/L; 109-165 mg/

dL =6.0-9.1 mmol/L)

109~165

Normal

109

165

Out-of-range results

If you continue to have test results fall outside the

range printed on the test strip vial, the meter and

strips may not be working properly. Do NOT test

your blood. Contact the local customer service or

place of purchase for help.

NOTE:

● The control solution range printed on the test

strip vial is for control solution use only. It is not a

recommended range for your blood glucose level.

● See the Caring for Your FORA iDiamond Meter

Set section for important information about your

control solutions.

WARNING:

To reduce the chance of infection:

● Never share a lancet or the lancing device.

● Always use a new, sterile lancet. Lancets are for

single use only.

● Avoid getting hand lotion, oils, dirt, or debris in or

on the lancets and the lancing device.

Preparing the Lancing Device for Blood Testing

Please follow the instructions in the lancing device

insert for collecting a blood sample.

Preparing the Puncture Site

Stimulate blood perfusion by rubbing the puncture

site before blood extraction has a signicant

inuence on the glucose value obtained.

Important Information about

Testing Your Blood Glucose

Level

Blood from a site that has not been rubbed exhibits

a measurably different glucose concentration than

blood from the nger. When the puncture site was

rubbed prior to blood extraction, the difference was

signicantly reduced.

Please follow the suggestions below before

obtaining a drop of blood:

● Wash and dry your hands before starting.

● Select the puncture site either at ngertips or

another body parts (please see section “Obtaining

a Blood Sample from Alternative Sites” (AST) on

how to select the appropriate sites).

● Clean the puncture site using cotton moistened

with 70% alcohol and let it air dry.

● Rub the puncture site for about 20 seconds

before penetration.

● Use a clear cap (included in the kit) while setting

up the lancing device.

Press the lancing device’s tip rmly against the

lower side of your ngertip. Press the release

button to prick your nger, then a click indicates that

the puncture is complete.

Blood from sites other than the ngertip

Replace the lancing device cap with the clear cap

for AST. Pull the cocking control back until it clicks.

When lancing the forearm, upper arm, hand, thigh,

or calf, avoid lancing the areas with obvious veins

because of excessive bleeding.
