1.6 General safety information
w WARNING
Always make sure to accurately program your personal settings
to avoid inappropriate insulin delivery. This phrase means that
either too much or too little insulin is delivered. Too much insulin
can lead to severe hypoglycemia. Too little insulin can lead to a
life-threatening ketoacidosis.
w WARNING
Your insulin pump has not been tested with cardiac pacemakers.
For information about the safe use of your Accu-Chek
Spirit Combo insulin pump with a cardiac pacemaker, contact
the pacemaker manufacturer. For reference see Appendix A:
Tables 201–205.
c CAUTION
If you should drop your pump, immediately inspect it carefully
for damage. Do not use your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin
pump if cracks or chips are visible – these may allow water,
dust, insulin or other foreign substances to enter the pump and
lead to malfunction.
