Troubleshooting

This section describes problems that may occur while using your ACCU-CHEK
Spirit insulin pump. See “Alerts and Errors” (page 147) for more information.

Note:

The solutions in this guide are only suggestions. Do not use these
procedures without approval of your doctor or healthcare team. Always
follow your doctor’s or healthcare team’s recommendations, and
contact them if you have any concerns about your insulin pump therapy.

You need to know that the interruption of insulin delivery (due to a leak,
occlusion, or loss of insulin potency, for example) or the malfunction of
your insulin pump can result in a rapid rise of your blood glucose level.
Although your pump has an internal security check system, it cannot
alert you if your infusion set is leaking or if the insulin you are using
has lost its potency.
