➨ Your insulin pump is designed to work in normal barometric
conditions from 70 to 106 kPA (700 to 1060 mbar). Do not exceed
3000 meters (10000 feet) above sea level. It has not been tested
for use in hazardous areas of any classification. Always stop and
remove your insulin pump prior to entering these areas.
➨ 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.
➨ Temperatures over +40°C (+104°F) and below +5°C (+41°F)
may damage the insulin, the electronics of your insulin pump and
may cause a malfunction of the battery. Do not place your insulin
pump in direct sunlight. Overheating of the insulin and your insulin
pump must be avoided.
➨ Protect your insulin pump from direct exposure to cold wind.
In cold weather wear your insulin pump under your clothes or
directly on your body. Refer to the instructions for use of the
insulin you are using for information on the admissible temperature
range for the insulin.
2.1.6 Warnings and cautions regarding safe battery use
➨ Always have extra AA batteries available with you and pay
attention to the following:
• Always keep batteries in their original package until ready to use.
• Prevent early discharge by avoiding contact between batteries
themselves and between batteries and any other metal objects
(e.g. coins, keys).
• To operate your insulin pump, the operating temperature of the
battery must be +5°C to +40°C (+41°F to +104°F).
• Do not use a battery that has been dropped.
