Quality assurance & application tips

FORA places great importance on measurement accuracy. Use the appropriate control solutions to check the devices regularly. Also pay attention to the following:

• Always store test strips well sealed, dry and at temperatures below 30 °C
• Clean devices regularly and calibrate them according to the manufacturer’s instructions
• Observe the expiry date of the test strips – once opened, they are only usable for a limited time

For the best possible results, a calm environment, clean hands and the use of the supplied lancing devices are recommended.
