11 Troubleshooting

This section describes some potential problems that may occur while
using your Accu-Chek Spirit insulin pump.
See sections 10 "Alerts and errors", 12 "Life with your Accu-Chek Spirit
insulin pump" and 14 "Care of your Accu-Chek Spirit insulin pump" for
further information.
Note The possible solutions given are only suggestions. Do not
use these procedures without approval of your doctor or
healthcare team. Always follow your doctor's or healthcare
team's recommendations, and contact them if you have any
concerns with your insulin pump therapy.
Be aware that the interruption of insulin delivery (e.g. due to
a leak, occlusion or loss of insulin potency) or the malfunc-
tion of your insulin pump can result in a rapid rise of your
blood glucose level. Although your insulin pump has an
internal security check system, it cannot alert you if your
infusion set is leaking or if the insulin you are using has lost
its potency.
