FORA GD40 offers an ultimate platform for accurate, fast and reliable true near-patient blood glucose level monitoring. Apply and test your sample with a touch of assurance of averting from false start, testing error and unnecessary waste of strip.
✓ High accuracy with GDH-FAD strip technology
✓ Wide use with 0-70% hematocrit range
✓ Success increase in testing with strip feed light
✓ Easy-to-read with LCD backlight
✓ Hygiene with strip ejection
✓ Reliable approval with clinically validated by IDT (Institute for Diabetes Technology GmbH) in Germany
IMPROVED PATIENT CARE
Immediate diagnostic results generated from near-patient testing often lead to better patient compliance with their medication and
insulin therapy regimes. Diabetes mellitus is well known as a lifestyle disease. A lifetime commitment to good self-diabetes
management is essential in maintaining near-normal glycemia and lowering risks of diabetic complications. Performing blood
glucose monitoring in front of the patient and having direct face-to-face guidance about suggested changes often result in an
immediate positive impact on patient compliance.
Furthermore, near-patient testing also helps improve the care standards, result turnaround time, staff efficiency, and the overall
effectiveness of diabetes management.
FULL CONTROL IN THE PALM OF YOUR HANDS
True near-patient testing means on-the-go testing regardless of the type of patient.
In other words, it means:
● no interference from various hematocrit
● no interference from various sample types
● no interference from non-glucose sugars that may be present in patients blood samples
Performance Beyond Expectation As Proven
The international standard, ISO 15197:2013, requires that at least 95% of the results from blood glucose meters should be within 15% of laboratory results when equal to or above 100 mg/dL and within 15 mg/dL when below 100 mg/dL. A clinical study done in May 2014 was conducted by the Institute for Diabetes-Technology (IDT) at the University of Ulm in Germany, FORA GD40 BGM system is evaluated with three reagent system lots and compared with Cobas Integra® 400 Plus glucose analyzer as the reference system. The report indicates that 100% of the results from samples < 100mg/dL (5.55mmol/L) fall within ±15 mg/dL (±0.83 mmol/L) criteria while 98% from samples > 100 mg/dL (5.55 mmol/L) fall within ±15 % criteria.
A: Clinically accurate
B: Deviating from the reference method by more than 15% but would lead to benign or no treatment
C: Deviating from the reference method by more than 15% and would lead to unnecessary corrective treatment errors
D: Potentially dangerous failure to detect and treat blood glucose levels outside of desired target range
E: Resulting in erroneous treatment
With complete confidence in its clinical accuracy, you can now optimize your patient’s medication and/or insulin treatment and improve diabetes care and treatment outcomes through patient counseling, education and communication.
