Gmate VOICE - Cleaning and Disinfection

Keep your Gmate® VOICE Blood Glucose Monitoring System clean. Clean and disinfect your Gmate®
VOICE Blood Glucose Monitoring System at least once per week by following the instructions on page

using the Gmate® VOICE Blood Glucose Monitoring System.
Cleaning and disinfecting your Gmate® VOICE Blood Glucose Monitoring System is important to
prevent the spread of diseases. Cleaning and disinfecting your Gmate® VOICE Blood Glucose
Monitoring System should be completed in two steps:
Step 1 – Clean the surfaces of the Gmate® VOICE Meter and lancing device of any blood, dirt, or any
visible residue with CaviWipes™ towelettes.
Step 2 – With a second CaviWipes™ towelette, disinfect the surfaces of the Gmate® VOICE Meter and
lancing device to kill blood borne pathogens such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or HIV.
