Change The Infusion Set - Accu-Chek Spirit User Manual

5.6 Change the infusion set

When changing the infusion set, please keep the following points clearly
in mind:
Infusion sets are sterile products 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.
Properly tighten the infusion set to the adapter to avoid leakage.
Turn the infusion set luer-lock connector only as far as to the
stop. Do not turn it any further and do not use any auxiliary tools
as this may crack the infusion set luer-lock connector and result
in leakage.
Your insulin pump cannot detect infusion set leakage. You must
inspect all parts of your infusion set at least every three hours
during the day and before you go to sleep. Should you detect
any loss of insulin and all parts are correctly tightened, immedi-
ately replace the leaking component. Immediately check your
blood glucose level, because insulin delivery has been
interrupted. Check your blood glucose level and take appropriate
actions according to your doctor's or healthcare team's
instructions.
Never change the cartridge or prime with an infusion set inserted
into your body. You risk uncontrolled insulin delivery into your
body. With disconnectable infusion sets, make sure you have
disconnected the tubing from your site prior to changing or
priming.
