2.2 Inserting the battery
Your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump turns on as soon as
you insert the battery. When you remove the battery, your pump
keeps track of the time and date for about one hour. If the power
is interrupted for a longer period of time (after more than 1 hour),
your pump will revert to the factory settings for the date and
time. Your insulin pump settings (such as the hourly basal rates,
bolus increment and active user menu) and the event memory
(bolus and alarm history, history of daily insulin totals and
Temporary Basal Rates) are always saved, regardless of battery
condition or the amount of time your pump has been without a
battery. See section 1.4.3 Battery for information on batteries
(both disposable and rechargeable types).
This chapter explains how to prepare your pump and begin
insulin pump therapy.
2.1 Before you begin
Successful insulin pump therapy requires you to check your
blood glucose levels frequently. It is therefore recommended that
you use an Accu-Chek blood glucose meter as often as directed
by your doctor or healthcare team.
Your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump has been designed
for use with the Meter. This intelligent blood glucose meter
enables communication with your pump using Bluetooth
®
wireless technology.
