Caring for System
Your Gmate™ System does not need any special maintenance.
Storing your system
Store your meter, strips and control solution in your carrying case
after each use. Store each item in a cool, dry place below
32°C(90°F), but do not refrigerate. Keep all items away from direct
sunlight and heat.
Tightly close the cap on the test strip vial and/or control solution vial
immediatly after use to avoid contamination or damage. Store test
strips only in their original vial.
Checking for expiration to strips and control solution
Test strips and control solution have expiration dates printed on their
vials. When you first open a test strip or control solution vial, you
must record the opening date in the space provided on the label. Use
all test strips within 3 months after the first opening.
Caution :
Do not use the strips or control solution after the expiration
date printed on the vial or the discard date(date first opened
plus 3 months), whichever comes first, or your results may be
inaccurate.
Do not use test strips if the vial is damaged or left open to air.
This could lead to error messages or tests that read higher
than the actual result.
