WARNING

insulin pump therapy. Work with your doctor or healthcare

 

team to understand how to use the pump.

 

Always check your personal settings before using your

 

new pump in order to avoid incorrect insulin delivery.

 

Record your personal settings from your current insulin

 

pump and ensure that they are correctly programmed

 

into a new ACCU-CHEK Spirit insulin pump. Incorrect

 

programming of your insulin pump may cause incorrect

 

insulin delivery.

 

Do not operate your insulin pump without knowing your

 

personal settings. If you are not sure about your personal

 

settings or you are less experienced, have your doctor or

 

healthcare team check them. Work with your doctor or

 

healthcare team to determine the timing as well as the

 

amount and type of bolus you need to deliver. Make sure

 

you know your personal carbohydrate to insulin ratio and

 

your correction bolus ratio.

 

Change your personal settings only after consulting with your

 

doctor or healthcare team and always follow their instructions.
