Chapter 1: Understanding Y our New System ACCU-CHEK Spirit Insulin Pump 17 Accessories and Disposables Sterile products and accessories are a crucial part of the ACCU-CHEK Spirit insulin pump system and therapy . These products are designed for safe and simple insulin pump therapy .
See Disetronic Medical Systems’ sterile products and accessories catalogs and brochures for more information. Or , contact Pump Support at 1 -800-688-4578. Cartridges Y our pump is designed to use ACCU-CHEK 3.15 ml plastic cartridges to hold i nsulin.
Infusion Set An ACCU-CHEK infusion set connects your pump to your body to deliver insulin. The insulin travels from the cartridge in your insulin pump through the infusion set into your body . The cannula or needle of the infusion set is placed under the skin, usually in the abdominal area.
Chapter 1: Understanding Y our New System ACCU-CHEK Spirit Insulin Pump 20 Use only infusion sets that have a luer-lock connector . All current ACCU-CHEK infusion sets have luer -lock connectors and are the preferred choice for use with your ACCU-CHEK Spirit insulin pump.
Battery Y our pump runs on one AA batter y . Use AA alkaline batteries tha t have a minimum capacity of 2500 mAh . Do not use lithium, carbon zinc, or nickel cadmium (NiCd) batteries. If you prefer to use rechargeable batteries , use NiMH batteries tha t ha ve a minimum capacity of 1500 mAh .
Batter y Co ver The ba tter y cover seals the ba tter y compartment. Change the batter y cover with at least ever y 4 th batter y change. • Remove the battery cover only in a dr y area to prevent water from getting inside the pump. • Make sure tha t the seal is not worn or missing and tha t the ba tter y is properly inserted into the pump.
Battery Key The batter y key tightens and loosens the batter y cover . It can also loosen the luer -lock connection between the infusion set and adapter if it cannot be loosened by hand. Ho wever , never use the battery key to attach or to tighten an infusion set.
