Description:
The Fora D15b is a dual monitor for blood pressure and blood glucose. Medaval has not found evidence proving the accuracy of its blood pressure measurement technology and blood glucose measurement technology. Blood pressure measurements are taken from the upper arm and blood glucose measurements are normally taken from the finger but alternative site testing is allowed. It is intended for self-measurement and home use. This device has been discontinued by the manufacturer but may be available through certain outlets.
Assessment:
There appears to be no peer-reviewed clinical validation information available on the technology used in the Fora D15b either to measure blood pressure or to measure blood glucose.
