Operation Manual

c CAUTION

Use of batteries other than those recommended may

significantly reduce battery usage time. Such batteries may

also leak and corrode the battery contacts in your pump. They

could also lead to an electronic short circuit resulting in

dangerous heat development. The use of batteries not supplied

or recommended by Roche may void the warranty. Before

inserting rechargeable batteries make sure that they are not

damaged (e.g. damaged plastics isolation coating) or leaking

as damaged or leaking batteries could damage your pump.

Note Always remember to remove the battery if your

Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump is not going to be

used for a long period, in order to conserve the battery.

Battery cover

The battery cover seals the battery compartment, and must be

changed at least every 2 months. You must remove and replace

the battery cover using the battery key – do not use knives,

screwdrivers or other sharp objects, as these may damage your

pump.

Battery key

The battery key tightens and loosens the battery cover. It is also

designed to loosen the luer-lock connection between the infusion

set and adapter if it cannot be loosened by hand, by using the

notch on the side. However, never use the battery key to attach

or tighten an infusion set. Using the battery key prevents

possible damage to the battery cover.

If you lose the battery key, or if it becomes cracked or worn, order

a replacement immediately, rather than using makeshift tools.

For a list of accessories and disposables tested and found to be

safe with the Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump, see

Appendix C.
