6 Using the Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump with the Meter
This chapter describes how the Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin
pump works with the Meter, and explains how to pair the two
devices using Bluetooth
®
wireless technology.
Note In this User Guide the term “Meter” always refers to the
Accu-Chek Aviva Combo Blood Glucose Meter.
“Pairing” means to set up a connection between the two devices
using Bluetooth
®
wireless technology. This is a secure connec-
tion, and there is no risk of your pump receiving signals from any
other device.
Note The pump may not communicate with the Meter using
Bluetooth
®
wireless technology when the devices are
more than two meters (about six feet) apart.
6.1 Meter
The Meter is both a blood glucose meter and a remote-control
device for your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump. Using the
Meter, you can program your pump without handling it, and also
receive bolus advice and review history information.
Note Do not leave your Meter unattended as long as it is
connected to your pump. Otherwise your pump could be
manipulated remotely without your control (for example:
children playing with the Meter). Therefore, it is recom-
mended that the Key Lock feature be used.
