7.5 Maintaining your pump
7.5.1 Cleaning your pump
The best time to clean your pump is when you change the
cartridge. Use a soft cloth to clean the outside of the pump. If
necessary, use a clean cloth with alcohol (isopropanol or
ethanol). If these measures are not successful, contact your
Accu-Chek Customer Care (details on inside back cover) for more
instructions. Also see section 7.3.1 Accidental contact with water.
c CAUTION
Always remove the cartridge and adapter, and put your pump
in STOP mode while cleaning. Avoid pressing the keys of your
Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump during cleaning, as this
may accidentally change your settings. Do not use other
solvents, strong detergents, bleaching agents, scouring pads
or sharp instruments for cleaning, as they may damage the
pump.
7.5.2 Batteries
It is important to change your battery regularly and to keep spare
batteries available. The life of any battery is affected by how you
use your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump, your personal
settings, delivery rates, temperature, and other factors.
For details about the battery lifetime see Appendix A for lifetime
of battery.
See section 1.4 Accessories and disposables or Appendix C for
more information on recommended batteries.
See section 2.2 Inserting the battery for instructions on how to
change your battery.
