12.3.2 Accidental contact with water
You and your insulin pump do not have to worry about accidental
temporary water contact. Examples of accidental temporary water contact
include:
• rain, snow;
• water splashes while biking, jogging, hiking and similar activities;
• accidental immersions into the sink or bath tub.
12.3.3 What to do after water contact
Put your insulin pump into STOP. Disconnect your insulin pump prior to
inspection. Use a soft cloth to dry the outside casing of your insulin
pump. Check the battery compartment and the cartridge compartment for
any water ingress. Should the battery compartment or cartridge compart-
ment get wet, turn your insulin pump upside down to let the water run out
and let it dry. Do not use warm air (e.g. a hair dryer) to dry as this could
damage the internal electronics of your insulin pump. Do not insert the
battery or the cartridge before these compartments are completely dry.
See the section 14.2.1 “Cleaning your Accu-Chek Spirit insulin pump” for
further information.
Caution
You must inspect your insulin pump immediately after
an accidental immersion in water.
