Cleaning Your ACCU-CHEK Spirit Insulin Pump

The best time to clean your pump is when you change the cartridge. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. If the pump compartments are very dirty, contact Pump Support at 1-800-688-4578 for more instructions.

Always remove the cartridge and adapter and place your

insulin pump in STOP mode while cleaning. Avoid pressing

the keys of your insulin pump during cleaning, as this may

 

accidentally change your settings. Do not use alcohol,

 

solvents, strong detergents, bleaching agents, scouring

 

pads, or sharp instruments for cleaning as they may

 

damage the pump.

Battery Information

It is important to change your battery regularly and to have spare batteries ready. The life of any battery is affected by how you use your insulin pump, your personal settings, delivery rates, temperature, and other factors. With typical pump use [50 U/day using U100 insulin; operating temperature 72°F ± 6°F (22°C ± 3°C)], pump battery life is about four weeks using alkaline batteries and one week using rechargeable batteries. See the section “Accessories and Disposables – Battery” (page 21) for more information on recommended batteries. See the section “Inserting (or Changing) the Battery” (page 25) for instructions on how to change your battery.
