3.6 General safety information
w WARNING
Always carry spare sterile products and accessories (infusion
set, insulin cartridge, batteries), an insulin pen/syringe, and
insulin. Without insulin, hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis
may develop and may require in-patient hospital treatment.
c CAUTION
Do not place your insulin pump in direct sunlight. Overheating
of the insulin and the pump must be avoided. Protect your
insulin pump from direct exposure to cold wind and tempera-
tures over 104 °F (40 °C) and below 41 °F (5 °C). These
conditions may damage the insulin and the housing of your
insulin pump, and could also cause a malfunction of the
battery. See the instructions for the insulin you are using to
determine the acceptable temperature range. Humalog
®
(insulin lispro, rDNA origin)*, Apidra
®
(insulin glulisine, rDNA
origin)** and NovoLog
®
(insulin aspart)*** have been tested
and found to be safe for use in the Accu-Chek Spirit Combo
insulin pump.
Note Check the amount of insulin remaining in the cartridge at
least once a day. Press f from the RUN or STOP screen
to display the remaining cartridge content in units. Before
going to sleep, make sure that:
j The pump is in RUN mode
j The cartridge contains enough insulin to last through
the night
j The battery level is OK
j The time and date are set correctly
