Battery Key
The battery key tightens and loosens the battery cover. It can also loosen the
luer-lock connection between the infusion set and adapter if it cannot be
loosened by hand. However, never use the battery key to attach or to tighten
an infusion set.
The battery key has a notch that fits all ACCU-CHEK infusion set luer-lock
connectors. The battery key should be replaced if it cracks, becomes worn,
or if it is lost.
Emergency Kit
It is a good idea to carry supplies in case of an emergency so that you can
exchange parts if you need to. An emergency kit might contain:
• A new ACCU-CHEK infusion set
• A new AA alkaline battery
• A new ACCU-CHEK 3.15 ml plastic cartridge
• A pen or syringe for alternate therapy
• A vial of insulin
• A filling aid
• Treatment for low blood glucose levels
• Blood glucose monitoring supplies (such as an ACCU-CHEK blood
glucose monitor)
• A disinfectant for skin
• A new site dressing
• The battery key
This list is only an example of what an emergency kit might contain. Ask your
doctor or healthcare team what supplies you should keep in your personal
emergency kit.
