Dear System Owner:
Thank you for purchasing the ForaCare D20 No-Coding Blood
Glucose plus Blood Pressure Monitoring System. This manual
provides important information which helps you to operate this
system smoothly. Before using this product, please read the follow-
ing contents thoroughly and carefully.
According to the clinical studies from American Diabetes Associa-
tion, elevated blood pressure often accompanies adult diabetes
patients. These studies also suggest that diabetes patients could
reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases by managing their
blood glucose levels and blood pressure. Therefore, with easy op-
eration of this ForaCare D20 No-Coding Blood Glucose plus Blood
Pressure Monitoring System, you can easily monitor your blood
glucose levels and blood pressure by yourself at any place, any
time. In addition, this system can help you and your healthcare
professionals to monitor and adjust your treatment plans, and
keep your diabetes and blood pressure under control.
If you have other questions regarding this product, please contact
the place of purchase.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Important 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 symptoms of illness, first repeat the test. If you
have symptoms or continue to get results higher or lower than
usual, follow the treatment advice of your healthcare professional.
•Use only fresh whole blood sample 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 instructions
described in this owner’s manual, call 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
hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis.
Please consult the healthcare professional before use.

Intended Use
This system is a 2 in 1 system designed to measure blood glucose
outside the human body (in vitro diagnostic use) and to measure
blood pressure non-invasively. It is intended for use at home as an aid
to monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes control.
It shall not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes and hypertension, or
for the testing of neonates. It is intended to be used by a single person
and should not be shared.
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. Your
monitor measures the current, calculates the blood glucose level, and
displays the result. The strength of the current produced by the reac-
tion depends on the amount of glucose in the blood sample.
The blood pressure is measured non-invasively at the arm based on
the Oscillometric method.
This device is NOT able to take measurements in the presence of
common arrhythmia, such as arterial or ventricular premature beats or
arterial fibrillation. It may produce reading errors.
