Coding the Meter
Q30: Which device needs coding before using? How do I code my FORA Meter?
FORA’s devices do not need coding except for special strips: β-Ketone, Urine Acid
and Total Cholesterol test strips.
You must calibrate/code the meter every time you begin to use a new vial of β-
ketone/ Total cholesterol/ Uric acid test strips by setting the meter with the correct
code. Test results may be inaccurate if the code number displayed on the monitor
does not match the number printed on the strip label or strip foil pack.
Besides, FORA GD40 series (GD40a/b/g/h) can open the coding function based on
customer’s request. In this situation, a code card is needed to calibrate the FORA
GD40 series meters to make sure the strips and meters have the same code.
Procedure:
(1) Insert the code strip into the test slot of the device. Wait for the device to display
the code number.
(2) Make sure the code numbers on display, code strip, and test strip vial or foil pack
are the same. The code strip should be within the expiry date; otherwise, an error
message may appear.
(3) Remove the code strip, the display will show “OK”. This tells you that the meter
has finished coding and is ready for β-ketone/ Total cholesterol/ Uric acid testing.
Control Solution
Q31: How do I do the control solution test?
1. Insert the test strip into the test slot of the device. Wait for the device to display
the blood drop.
2. Auto QC mode in FORA 6 series and GD40g/h: The meter will detect the
difference between control solution and blood samples automatically. It will
