Q8.
Why do I need to code my meter before use, and how?
FORA
’s devices do not need coding except for special strips:
β
-Ketone, Urine Acid,
and Total Cholesterol test strips.
You would need to 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.
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 numbers on the 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 shows
“OFF”, telling that the meter has
finished coding and is ready for
β
-ketone/ Total cholesterol/ Uric acid testing.
