CARING FOR THE GMATE® VOICE
Cleaning and Disinfection of the Gmate® VOICE Blood Glucose Monitoring System
For safe, accurate, and dependable use of the Gmate® VOICE Blood Glucose Monitoring System, and
to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, the meter should be properly maintained.
Your Gmate® VOICE meter should be cleaned and disinfected when blood, dirt, or any visible residue is
on the meter and lancing device. Cleaning and disinfecting of the Gmate® VOICE is a two-step process
and should be done once a week.
Cleaning:
Clean the meter and lancing device by wiping both devices with CaviWipes™ towelettes. Wipe the
outside of the meter and the lancing device carefully. Before you begin, squeeze out any excess liquid
from the towelette so that it is damp but not dripping wet. Take extreme care not to get liquid in the test
strip port. CaviWipes™ have been shown to be safe for use with the meter and lancing device.
1. First clean the meter and lancing device using CaviWipes™ towelettes to remove visible dirt, blood or
other substances.
2. After cleaning, disinfect the meter and lancing device using a second CaviWipes™ towelette to kill
the germs that may spread infection.
Disinfecting:
Disinfecting can be accomplished by wiping the meter and the reusable lancing device with CaviWipes™
disinfecting towelettes. It is very important that the meter and lancing device remain wet for two (2) minutes.
