8 Warnings and Errors
A safety system monitors and controls the function of your
Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump. This safety system
performs more than 9 million safety checks every day. If it
detects a change from the pump’s normal state, it will trigger a
Warning or an Error message. Beeps, vibrations, and messages
on the pump screen indicate the cause of a Warning or Error.
Warnings and Errors are the only way you can be quickly notied
of any changes in your pump.
c CAUTION
Check the pump display regularly during the day, and before
you go to sleep, and especially if you might not be able to
hear the beeps or feel the vibrations for any reason.
Your pump signals Warnings and Errors using beeps and
vibrations. You can turn off either the beeps or the vibrations, but
for your safety you cannot turn off both at the same time for the
initial alarm signal.
If you do not conrm a Warning or Error within 60 seconds, it will
be signalled again. Even when the beep is turned off or pro-
grammed at lower than maximum volume, the beep volume will
rise to the loudest volume level if not conrmed. Both the beep
and vibration will then continue at this level until conrmed.
Note j The volume of the STOP-Warning is separate from the
programmed beep volume and cannot be changed.
It always occurs at the maximum level.
j Key Lock is unlocked by the system each time a
Warning or Error occurs.
