Accu-Chek Spirit - Your Insulin Pump and Water; Daily Situations

12.3 Your insulin pump and water
12.3.1 Daily situations
Your insulin pump is protected against unintentional water contact such
as splashes or rain. For deliberate contact with water like bathing (e.g.
tubs, jacuzzis or whirlpools), taking showers, swimming or any other
water activities disconnect and take off your insulin pump. Avoid
deliberate exposure with high humidity (e.g. saunas, etc.) as this may
also harm your insulin pump. For your convenience we recommend to
use disconnectable Accu-Chek infusion sets.
Consult your doctor or healthcare team for the length of time insulin
pump therapy can safely be interrupted.
Caution
Avoid deliberate contact with water. Check daily that
your insulin pump is not chipped, cracked or damaged
in any way and that the battery cover and the adapter
are correctly closed. In the presence of chips and
cracks, water, dust, insulin, or other foreign substances
may enter your insulin pump and lead to malfunction.
In case of deliberate contact with water disconnect and
take off your insulin pump.
