Identifying Parts & Functions Lancet Lancet Cap Twist off here when placed in the lancet holder. * Lancet and Lancing Device are subject to change without notice. Test Principle Performing a test using Gmate™On Blood Glucose Monitoring System involves the measurement of electrical currents caused by the reaction of glucose with the reagent of the test strip.
Running the App Step 1 - Downloading the app From your Android mobile device, enter Play store by tapping Play Store icon. Type in “gmate on” in the search bar, locate the app, then download it. Step 2 - Installing the app Follow the instructions through the installation process.
Performing the Test Step 1 - Preparing the app and the meter Start the app and plug your meter to the USB jack of your mobile device. When the meter’s power indicator is on, insert the test strip into the test strip port of the meter.
Page 19
Performing the Test Step 2 - Preparing the lancing device Wash your hands thoroughly with warm water to increase blood circulation into the fingers. Then dry your hands completely including your puncture site. Unscrew the lancing device cap. 2017-08-03 �� 9:41:31 PM110-CE0-2105_Gmate On_user guide_20170621.indd 18...

Performing the Test Step 5 - Reading the test result Along with the recognition sound, the display of your mobile device will show the progress bar for five seconds. Then your blood glucose result will be announced as it appears on the screen along with the date and time.
Page 24
Performing the Test Tap “SAVE” button on the top right corner to save your customized test result. Step 7 - Removing and discarding used test strip and lancet Remove the test strip from the meter, and the lancet from the lancing device. Dispose of them in accordance with your local regulations.
Page 25
Performing the Test IMPORTANT Repeat the test if your test result is displayed as one of the following: Below 50mg/dL(2.8mmol/L) Above 250mg/dL(13.9mmol/L) “LOW” “HIGH” If you continue to get unusual test results, call your healthcare professional. Check your system with control solution if you have purchased it with the system.
Page 26
Performing the Test Range of expected test results Blood glucose levels will vary depending on food intake, medication dosage, health, level of stress, or exercise. Consult your healthcare professional for the target range that is appropriate for you. Following is the expected blood glucose level for a non-pregnant patient with diabetes: After fasting: Less than 110mg/dL (6.0mmol/L) Two hours after a meal: Less than 140mg/dL...
Alternate Site Testing The Gmate™ On allows blood glucose testing using other regions of your body besides your fingertips. These parts are your hand, forearm, upper arm, thigh and calf. The purpose of this alternate site testing is to use your fingertips less to avoid calluses and pain from repeated lancing in the same spot.
Page 28
Alternate Site Testing Perform an AST in the following circumstances: two or more hours after meals physical exercises, or any other activities that may affect blood glucose levels two hours after a rapid-acting insulin injection or insulin pump bolus Avoid an AST under following situations: during or within two hours after a meal, physi- cal exercises or other activities that may affect blood glucose levels...
Page 29
Alternate Site Testing Sampling Blood from Alternate Sites Unlike with fingertips, the method for sampling blood from alternate sites is different. After inserting a new ster- ile lancet firmly into the lancet carrier, place the clear AST cap on top. Hold the lancing device against the site you have chosen to lance.
Control Solution Testing The control solution is used to ensure your meter and test strips are working properly. It contains a known amount of glucose, and in this test, the control solution will replace the role of your blood sample. Control solutions are available to purchase separately.

Care and Maintenance Keeping Your System Keep your meter, test strips, and control solu- tion in the carrying case after use. Store all parts of the system in a cool, dry place between 2 and 32ºC(36 and 90ºF). If your meter has been exposed to extreme temperatures, perform the test after you have kept it in room temperature for at least 20 minutes.
Page 40
Care and Maintenance Cleaning Your System Keeping your meter and lancing device clean is essential for avoiding malfunction (such as foreign objects contaminating the meter causing it to fail) and spreading of infection. Use soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water to wipe the exterior of your meter, lancing device and clear AST cap.
System Specifications Clinical accuracy The Gmate™ System is calibrated to yield results equivalent to plasma glucose concentrations and is traceable to a NIST standard. The accuracy of the Gmate™ On System was assessed by comparing blood glucose results obtained by patients with those obtained using a YSI 2300 Glucose Analyzer.
