This chapter explains how to take care of your pump and keep it 
properly maintained.

c

 CAUTION 

Do not perform any servicing or repair on your Accu-Chek
Spirit Combo insulin pump as this may void the guarantee.
For further information, contact your local pump support (see
inside back cover).

7.1  Inspecting your pump

Your pump must be properly maintained to guarantee accurate 
insulin delivery. 
Check the pump display regularly during the day and before you 
go to sleep, and especially if for any reason you might not be 
able to hear the beeps or feel the vibrations. 

Accessories

Use only Accu-Chek sterile products and accessories designed 
to be used with your pump. Replace and discard these items 
according to your doctor’s or healthcare team’s recommenda-
tions and the instructions that come with these items.
