1.4 Accessories and disposables

High-quality sterile disposables and accessories are a vital

part of the Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump system, and

help to ensure safe pump therapy. (For a list of accessories and

disposables tested and found to be safe with the Accu-Chek

Spirit Combo insulin pump, see Appendix C.) The infusion set is

the applied part. Always follow the instructions provided by your

doctor or healthcare team – as well as the printed instructions

included with the product – relating to the use of these items.

Note Use your insulin pump, sterile disposables and

accessories for the first time in the presence of your

doctor or healthcare team.

1.4.1 Sterile disposables

Each sterile disposable, such as a cartridge or infusion set,

should be used only once, as re-using these products could lead

to infection or could damage your pump. Do not use a sterile

product if the package has been damaged or opened.

w WARNING

Your pump has been designed for use with rapid-acting U100

insulin. Humalog

(insulin lispro, rDNA origin)*, Apidra

(insulin

been tested and found to be safe for use in the Accu-Chek

Spirit Combo insulin pump. Only use sterile disposables and

accessories that are designed for use with your Accu-Chek

Spirit Combo insulin pump. The correct functioning of your

pump can only be guaranteed if you use sterile products with

the Accu-Chek brand and genuine Accu-Chek Spirit Combo

insulin pump accessories.
