Warnings And Cautions Regarding Hygiene - Accu-Chek Spirit User Manual

2.1.2 Warnings and cautions regarding hygiene

➨
Your insulin pump was designed to use an Accu-Chek
3.15 ml plastic cartridge. The cartridge is a sterile product
intended for single use only. Sterility is guaranteed for unopened
packaging up to the indicated expiration date. Do not use sterile
products if the package is damaged.
➨
Do not reuse single use materials. Reuse of single use
materials might lead to a malfunction of your insulin pump and
to incorrect insulin delivery and/or an infection.
➨
Always handle the items with clean hands. Avoid any contact
of the infusion set and especially the connecting parts of your
insulin pump with antiseptics, antibiotic creams, soaps, perfumes,
deodorants, body lotions or any other cosmetics. They may
contaminate these parts.
➨
Avoid deliberate contact with water. In case of deliberate
contact with water disconnect and take off your insulin pump.
➨
Check daily that your insulin pump and its sterile products are
not chipped, cracked or damaged in any way and that the battery
cover and the adapter are correctly closed. In the presence of
chips and cracks, water, dust, insulin, or other foreign substances
may enter your insulin pump and lead to malfunction.
➨
Only use sterile products and accessories that are designed
for use with your insulin pump. Other sterile products and
accessories have not been tested for compatibility with your insulin
pump and may therefore endanger your health if used.
