7.3.1 Accidental contact with water
Your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump is IPX8 waterproof
when leaving the factory site. However hair-line cracks could
appear during use. Therefore we may only guarantee protection
against brief accidental water contact such as:
j Rain
j Water splashes while you are cycling, jogging or hiking
j Accidental immersion in the sink, washbasin or bath
What to do after any water contact
Put your pump into STOP mode, disconnect the pump from your
body, and inspect it. Use a soft dry cloth to dry the outside of the
pump, and check the battery compartment and the cartridge
compartment for water. If the battery compartment or cartridge
compartment are wet, turn your pump upside down to let the
water run out and let it air dry. Do not use warm air such as a
hair dryer to dry the pump, as this could damage the pump’s
housing. Do not reinsert the battery or the cartridge until the
compartments are completely dry. See section 7.5.1 Cleaning
your pump.
Other liquids
You do not have to worry about contact between your pump and
perspiration or saliva. You must however check your pump
immediately after contact with other liquids or chemicals such as:
j Cleaning solutions
j Beverages
j Oil or Fat
In case of contact with these substances, clean your pump
immediately. See section 7. 5.1 Cleaning your pump.
c CAUTION
Avoid any contact between your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo
insulin pump, the infusion set, and the connecting parts of
your insulin pump with health and beauty items (for example:
antiseptics, antibiotic creams, soaps, perfumes, deodorants,
body lotions, or any other cosmetics). These substances
could discolor your pump or fog the display.
