13 On the go with your Accu-Chek Spirit
insulin pump
13.1 Electromagnetic fields and hazardous areas
Avoid electromagnetic fields of radar or antenna installations, high-voltage
sources, X-Ray sources, MRI, CAT scan or other sources of electrical cur-
rent. Do not use your insulin pump in such areas. Electromagnetic fields
may cause malfunction to your insulin pump. Always stop and remove
your insulin pump prior to entering these areas. In other cases, the insulin
delivery may be stopped immediately and an error E7: ELECTRONIC
ERROR occurs.
For further information regarding electromagnetic immunity, please refer
to the section 15 “Technical data”.
Your insulin pump has been tested and found to comply with the
regulations concerning unintentional electromagnetic interference.
Security systems for transit checks in airports as well as anti-theft
monitoring devices (e.g. department stores, etc.) should not affect the
functionality of your insulin pump.
Because of the high variety of devices with electromagnetic radiation such
as cellular phones, their influence on your insulin pump and vice versa
cannot be ruled out completely. It is advisable to keep your insulin pump
at a distance of at least 10 cm (4 inches) from such devices while the
other device is being operated.
Warning
Your insulin pump has not been tested with other
electronic medical devices. Therefore do not use the
Accu-Chek Spirit insulin pump with another electronic
medical device unless advised by your doctor or
healthcare team.
