SFM Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) hereby sets forth the following Terms of Use (hereinafter referred to as the “Terms”) for the use of the services (hereinafter referred to as the “Service”) related to the HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c) measurement application software “FLD HbA1c” (hereinafter referred to as the “App”), which is developed and provided by the Company for the purpose of health management, and used on smartphone devices (hereinafter referred to as the “Device”).
Article 1 (Users)
- These Terms apply to individuals (hereinafter referred to as “Users”) who legitimately download the App onto their own Device via the SFM App Store and wish to use the Service.

- Any communication costs incurred for downloading the App or using the Service shall be borne by the User.
Article 2 (Definitions)
For the purposes of these Terms, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
- “Medical-Related Information” refers to comprehensive information related to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The Service is intended solely for general health promotion and health management, and may not be used, directly or indirectly, for medical diagnosis, treatment, or any other medical purpose, regardless of whether the data obtained is processed or unprocessed.
- “Company” refers to SFM Co., Ltd., which bears full responsibility for claims, support, and intellectual property matters in connection with the Service.
- “Target Products” refers to [Definition omitted in original; to be specified].
- “Billing Method” refers to the payment structure established by the Company. Payments for the App are processed through external payment service providers designated by the Company.
- “Automatic Renewal Subscription” refers to a subscription model that allows the User to continuously use the App’s content, services, and functions. The App offers plans based on this model.
- “Recommended Identity Verification Method” refers to [Definition omitted in original; to be specified].
- “Recommended Usage Method” means launching the App using the Recommended Identity Verification Method, holding the Device vertically in an environment meeting the Recommended Environment conditions, positioning the face within the on-screen frame, and remaining still for the Recommended Time, after which the HbA1c measurement information will be displayed on the Device screen.
- “Recommended Time” is approximately 10 seconds, but may vary depending on the usage environment.
- “Measurement Information” refers to the HbA1c value measured using the Recommended Usage Method. For measurements between 4.95 and 6.54, the value is rounded to one decimal place and displayed within the range of 4.9–6.5. Values of 6.55 or higher are displayed as “6.5 over,” and values of 4.94 or lower as “4.9 under.” Pulse rate and oxygen saturation are displayed concurrently for reference.
- “Recommended Environment” includes, but is not limited to, a Wi-Fi connection, sufficient space to hold the Device in front of the face, a location that is not crowded, and adequate lighting. Use in vehicles or trains is not recommended for safety and stability reasons. Measurement results are not stored, so Users should use the App in an environment where they can view the results on screen. Avoid using in backlit or direct sunlight conditions. Removing glasses, regular sunglasses, masks, or hats is recommended. The App does not emit special light or sound and can be safely used during pregnancy.
Article 3 (Service Description)
The App (Product Name: “FLD HbA1c”) is a proprietary health management application developed by the Company using advanced engineering analysis technology cultivated through years of fundamental research.
The App uses the Device’s camera and processing functions to analyze light reflected from human skin using a proprietary algorithm, and displays the HbA1c measurement information on the Device screen within the Recommended Time.
The Measurement Information is not provided as Medical-Related Information.
If Users experience any physical or mental discomfort while using the Service, they should consult a medical institution.
Users must follow the Recommended Usage Method when using the Service.
Measurement Information disappears from the screen after a few seconds and is not stored on the Device.
The Service does not require needles, blood collection, sensor-equipped devices, or exposure to special light or sound.
The App also downloads reference measurement programs for pulse rate and oxygen saturation, which are displayed alongside HbA1c results.
The App processes all information locally without external transmission, reducing the risk of security incidents, conserving resources, and minimizing Device load.
The App has no age restriction, but is recommended for Users aged 18 or older.
