Description:
The Fora Advance Pro (GD40g) is an automatic blood glucose meter. The accuracy of its blood glucose measurement technology has yet to be proven to MDR requirements. Blood glucose measurements are taken from the finger. It is intended for professional use.
Assessment:
There appears to be no peer-reviewed clinical validation information available on the technology used in the Fora Advance Pro (GD40g) to measure blood glucose. However, this device appears to be very similar to a validated device by the same manufacturer or a device within a family of equivalent devices, but equivalence needs to be proven according to a protocol compliant with (EU) 2017/745 and MEDDEV 2.7/1 rev 4.
Recommendations:

Although equivalence to another device is claimed, this has not been tested to MDR requirements. |
