Accu-Chek insulin pump - Manual (Page 2)

Dear ACCU-CHEK ™ Spirit insulin pump owner,
Thank you for choosing the ACCU-CHEK Spirit insulin pump.
This guide will help you to get the most from your ACCU-CHEK Spirit insulin
pump. Even if you have used an insulin pump before, it’s important that you
do these things before you use the ACCU-CHEK Spirit insulin pump:
̈ read this guide carefully
̈ work with your doctor or healthcare team to understand how to use
the pump
̈ test your blood glucose level often to find your personal settings and
to avoid getting the wrong dosage of insulin. (An ACCU-CHEK blood
glucose meter is one way to test blood glucose levels; talk to your
doctor or healthcare team to decide the best way for you.)
It’s a good idea to inform family members or friends about diabetes and pump
therapy so that they can help you in an emergency.
Disetronic Medical Systems is proud to help you manage your diabetes therapy.
However, Disetronic Medical Systems cannot recommend specific diabetes
therapy. Always follow the instructions given to you by your doctor or healthcare
team. If you have questions about your pump, or problems with it, refer to this
guide and talk to your doctor or healthcare team. We also invite you to contact
Pump Support at 1-800-688-4578.
Note:
Your insulin pump is a valuable medical device. Consider adding your
pump to your homeowner’s insurance policy to protect you in case it is
damaged or lost. Ask your insurance agent for details.
