1.3 Working safely with your Accu-Chek Spirit insulin pump

Your Accu-Chek Spirit insulin pump meets the safety requirements of
your national medical device legislation and complies with or exceeds the
international standards for Electromagnetic Compatibility regarding its
use. Section 1.4 introduces you to the intended use of the Accu-Chek
Spirit insulin pump, its safety features, and to warnings and precautions
you should be aware of while using your insulin pump.
When your insulin pump is in use, its two microprocessor safety systems
continuously monitor and control the insulin pumps functioning. Over
9 million safety checks are performed daily. If your insulin pump detects
a deviation of its normal state, an alert (warning instruction) or an error
(error message) will occur.
