Warnings And Cautions On Proper Use - Accu-Chek Spirit User Manual

Before you begin
➨
Always have extra sterile products and accessories with you.
This allows you to exchange components when needed. Materials
designed for single use (such as cartridges and infusion sets) may
not be reused due to the increased risk of infections, malfunctions
and/or incorrect insulin delivery.
➨
Always remove the cartridge and adapter and place your
insulin pump in STOP while cleaning. Avoid pressing the keys of
your insulin pump during cleaning, as this may accidentally change
your settings. Do not use alcohol, solvents, strong detergents,
bleaching agents, scouring pads or sharp instruments (knife, key,
screw driver, etc.) for cleaning as they may damage your insulin
pump.

2.1.3 Warnings and cautions on proper use

➨
Training and use of your insulin pump requires the support of
an experienced doctor or healthcare team. Regular visits with
your doctor or healthcare team are absolutely essential during
insulin pump therapy. Change your personal settings only after
consulting your doctor or healthcare team. Always follow the
instructions given by your doctor or healthcare team.
➨
Do not perform any servicing or repair on your insulin
pump by yourself. Do not use any lubricant on the insulin pump
mechanism. For additional questions contact your local Customer
Care Area.
➨
Never press any of the keys with a sharp or pointed item such
as the tip of your fingernail. This could damage the casing of your
insulin pump. Use the pad of your finger tip instead to prevent
puncturing the keys.
