3.3 Your insulin pump and water
c CAUTION
Before any contact with water, disconnect and take off your
Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump. Check your pump daily
to ensure that it is not chipped, cracked or damaged in any
way, and that the battery cover and the adapter are correctly
closed. Otherwise water, dust, insulin, or other substances
may enter your pump and lead to malfunction.
Disconnect and remove your pump before taking a bath, or going
into a whirlpool, shower or swimming pool. Avoid exposing your
pump to high humidity, such as in a sauna, as this could result in
damage. To make it easy to remove your pump, use disconnect-
able Accu-Chek infusion sets.

brief accidental contact with water. Examples of accidental water
contact include:
