Use only infusion sets that have a luer-lock connector. All current ACCU-CHEK
infusion sets have luer-lock connectors and are the preferred choice for use
with your ACCU-CHEK Spirit insulin pump. All ACCU-CHEK infusion sets are PVC
free, are skin-friendly, and do not affect insulin. The diameter of the ACCU-CHEK
infusion set tubing is small for fast priming and minimal waste of insulin.
ACCU-CHEK infusion sets come in a wide range of lengths from 60 cm (24 inches)
to 110 cm (43 inches). Choose your tubing length based on how you wear
your pump. Please refer to the infusion set instructions for proper usage and
priming volumes.
Adapter
The adapter connects the cartridge to the infusion set. It has two seals to keep
water from getting into the cartridge compartment. Two vents on the adapter
allow air pressure to equalize. The adapter will not work properly if the vents are
plugged, dirty, or if the seals are worn or missing.
Change the adapter with at least every 10 th cartridge change. Also change the
adapter if the seals become worn, lost, or if the vents become plugged.
