12.1.2 Continuation of insulin pump therapy
1. Attach a new Accu-Chek infusion set and prime it prior to
insertion. When using a disconnectable infusion set, reconnect
the tubing.
2. Follow the instructions for the infusion set you are using, and
put your insulin pump into RUN.
Measure your blood glucose level within 2 hours in order to check the
functionality of the system and to ensure insulin delivery.
12.1.3 Interruption of insulin pump therapy for a longer period of time
Before using a different Accu-Chek Spirit insulin pump, always check your
personal settings in order to avoid incorrect insulin delivery. Make sure
that the time and date are set correctly.
There may be times when you may interrupt your insulin pump therapy
for more than 1 day.
To interrupt the use of your insulin pump
1. Put your insulin pump into STOP.
2. Remove the cartridge, adapter and infusion set.
3. Reinsert the adapter.
4. Remove the battery and reinsert the battery cover.
5. Store your insulin pump properly. (See the section 14.3 “Storing
your Accu-Chek Spirit insulin pump” for further information.)
Caution
Contact your doctor or healthcare team for an alternate
therapy plan when you interrupt the insulin pump
therapy for a longer period of time.
