14.2 Maintenance and cleaning

14.2.1 Cleaning your Accu-Chek Spirit insulin pump

The ideal time to clean your insulin pump is during the change of a
cartridge. Only use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. If the insulin pump
compartments are excessively dirty, consult your local Customer Care
Area for further instructions.
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 for cleaning as they
may damage your insulin pump.

14.2.2 Battery information

To prevent water from entering the pump casing, change
the battery only in a dry environment and make sure
that the seal of the battery cover is not worn out or
missing and that the battery is properly inserted.
Always have an extra battery available and pay attention to the following:
• Use only 1.5 volt AA Alkaline batteries with a minimum capacity of
2500 mAh supplied and/or recommended by Roche Diagnostics
or NiMH rechargeable batteries with a minimum capacity of
1500 mAh.
