Personal settings
Your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump must be programmed
with your personal settings prior to starting insulin pump therapy.
Personal settings include the basal rate prole(s), the correct
time and date and all other variable values which can be tailored
to your individual needs on your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin
pump or using Accu-Chek Insulin Pump Conguration Software.
Rapid-acting Insulin
See Insulin (rapid acting).
RUN
During normal use, your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump
is in RUN mode and insulin is continuously delivered. Boluses,
Temporary Basal Rates and almost all functions can be pro-
grammed from RUN mode.
RUN screen
The RUN screen is the starting point for all functions which can
be accessed while your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump
delivers insulin. Your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump
displays the RUN screen during normal use when no programming
is being performed. The time, current hourly basal rate, selected
basal rate prole and all currently activated functions appear on
the RUN screen.
Settings
Settings are individually programmable values and parameters
that affect the way your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump
works.
Scrolling
Scrolling allows a fast and easy programming of a range of
values.
STOP
When your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump is in STOP, it
does not deliver any insulin. The insulin delivery is only stopped
if an Error occurs or if your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump
is put into a necessary STOP, (e.g. when changing the cartridge,
adapter or infusion set or for data transfer). Functions such as
Extended Bolus or Temporary Basal Rate are interrupted by
putting your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump into STOP.
