The Gmate® VOICE Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for the quantitative measurement of
glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from the ngertips, hand, upper arm, forearm,
calf or thigh as an aid in monitoring the effectiveness of diabetes management in the home by individuals
with diabetes. The Gmate® VOICE Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be used by a single
user and should not be shared with any other person.
Gmate® VOICE Blood Glucose Monitoring System is for self-testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use
only) by people with diabetes at home as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. The
Gmate® VOICE Blood Glucose Monitoring System should not be used for the diagnosis or screening of
diabetes or for neonatal use. Alternative site testing should be done only during steady-state times (when
glucose is not changing rapidly).
The Gmate® VOICE Blood Glucose Monitoring System includes a speaking feature that provides audible
test results for diabetic users.
The Gmate® Blood Glucose Test Strips are for use with the Gmate® VOICE Meter for the quantitative
measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from the ngertips, hand,
upper arm, forearm, calf or thigh.

intended as a quality control measure to verify the accuracy of your blood glucose test results and to ensure
that the Gmate® VOICE Meter and Gmate® Test Strips are working properly. The Gmate® Control Solution

ABOUT THE GMATE® VOICE MONITORING SYSTEM
Intended Use

04
Before using the Gmate® VOICE Blood Glucose Monitoring System, carefully read this User Manual
and the inserts that come with the Gmate® Test Strips and the Gmate® Control Solution. Take note of
the “Important” and “Caution” areas throughout the User Manual.
Before you Begin
Note: It may be helpful to practice the test with the control solution before testing with blood for the
rst time. See Control Solution Testing and the Control Solution Insert.
Test Principle
The Gmate® VOICE Monitoring System uses small electric currents to measure the reaction of glucose
(sugar) in the blood with the reagents in the strip. The electric current changes with the amount of
glucose in the blood sample. The Gmate® VOICE Meter measures the current, calculates your blood
glucose level, displays the results, and stores it into memory.
Setting the Time and Date
Your Gmate® VOICE Monitoring System comes with the date, time, year and unit of measure pre-set.
All Gmate® VOICE Monitoring Systems sold in the United States are set to English, Eastern Standard
Time (EST) and the measuring unit mg/dL. Before using your Gmate® VOICE Monitoring System for
the rst time or when you change the batteries, check and set the time and date as necessary. See
page 14 (Setting the Meter) to set the meter properly.
