Note Warning Your pump has been designed for use with U100 insulin. Only use sterile disposables and accessories that are designed for use with your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump. The correct functioning of your pump can only be guaranteed if you use Accu-Chek brand sterile products and genuine Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump accessories. Use your insulin pump, sterile disposables and accessories for the first time in the presence of your doctor or healthcare team. 1.4.1 Sterile disposables Each sterile disposable, such as cartridge or infusion set, should be used only once, as re-using these products could lead to infection or could damage your pump. Do not use a sterile product if the package has been damaged or opened. 19 1.4.2 Adapter Note vents It is essential to change the adapter at least every two months. You must also change the adapter if the seals become worn, are lost, or if the vents are blocked. 1.4.3 Battery grip seal thread The adapter connects the cartridge to the infusion set, and also keeps the cartridge compartment watertight with two seals, one inside and one outside the adapter. It holds the cartridge in place and prevents the entry of air bubbles. The two small vents on the adapter allow air pressure to be equalized inside and outside the cartridge compartment. The adapter will not work properly if the vents are blocked or dirty, or if the seals are missing. 20 Your pump requires one AA 1.5 V battery in order to function. Use AA high-quality alkaline LR6 or lithium FR6 batteries that have a minimum capacity of 2500 mAh. Do not use carbon zinc or nickel cadmium (NiCd) batteries. If you prefer, you can use rechargeable batteries – in this case, use AA 1.2 V NiMH HR6 batteries with a minimum capacity of 2500 mAh. Always use a battery charger recommended by the battery manufacturer. See Appendix A Technical Data p. 176. 1 Caution Use of batteries other than those recommended may significantly reduce battery usage time. Such batteries may also leak and corrode the battery contacts in your pump. Therefore, the use of batteries not supplied or recommended by Roche may void the warranty. Before inserting rechargeable batteries make sure that they are not damaged or leaking as damaged or leaking batteries could damage your pump. Note Always remember to remove the battery if your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump is not going to be used for a long period, in order to conserve the battery. Battery key The battery key tightens and loosens the battery cover. It is also designed to loosen the luer-lock connection between the infusion set and adapter if it cannot be loosened by hand, by using the notch on the side. However, never use the battery key to attach or tighten an infusion set. Using the battery key prevents possible damage to the battery cover. If you lose the battery key, or if it becomes cracked or worn, order a replacement immediately, rather than using makeshift tools. For a list of recommended accessories and disposables, see Appendix C. Battery cover The battery cover seals the battery compartment, and must be changed at least every two months. You must remove and replace the battery cover using the battery key – do not use knives, screwdrivers or other sharp objects, as these may damage your pump. 21 1.5 Emergency kit It is highly recommended to keep accessories and disposables with you in case of an emergency. This enables you to change these items if necessary. Such an emergency kit should contain: jj An Accu-Chek infusion set jj A new AA alkaline or lithium battery jj An Accu-Chek Spirit 3.15 ml Cartridge System jj An insulin pen or syringe for alternative therapy jj A vial of insulin jj Treatment for low blood glucose levels jj Blood glucose monitoring equipment (such as an Accu-Chek blood glucose meter) jj A disinfectant for skin jj A battery key jj A battery cover jj An adapter 22 Warning Make sure that you have an alternative therapy plan, provided by your healthcare professional. Use this plan whenever you need to interrupt pump therapy. 1 1.6 General safety information Warning Always make sure to accurately program your personal settings to avoid inappropriate insulin delivery. This phrase means that either too much or too little insulin is delivered. Too much insulin can lead to severe hypoglycemia. Too little insulin can lead to a life-threatening ketoacidosis. Caution If you should drop your pump, immediately inspect it carefully for damage. Do not use your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump if cracks or chips are visible – these may allow water, dust, insulin or other foreign substances to enter the pump and lead to malfunction. Warning Your insulin pump has not been tested with cardiac pacemakers. For information about the safe use of your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump with a cardiac pacemaker, contact the pacemaker manufacturer. For reference see Appendix A Tables 201 – 205. 23 24 2 Getting started This chapter explains how to prepare your pump and begin insulin pump therapy. 2.1 Before you begin Successful insulin pump therapy requires you to check your blood glucose levels frequently. It is therefore recommended that you use an Accu-Chek blood glucose meter as often as directed by your doctor or healthcare team. Your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump has been designed for use with the Meter. This intelligent blood glucose meter enables communication with your pump using Bluetooth ® wireless technology. 2.2 Inserting the battery Your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump turns on as soon as you insert the battery. When you remove the battery, your pump keeps track of the time and date for about one hour. Your insulin pump settings (such as the hourly basal rates, bolus increment and active user menu) and the event memory (bolus and alarm history, history of daily insulin totals and Temporary Basal Rates) are always saved, regardless of battery condition or the amount of time your pump has been without a battery. See section 1.4.3 Battery for information on batteries (both disposable and rechargeable types). 25 Procedure for inserting and changing the battery 1. 2. Remove or disconnect your infusion set from the infusion site, to ensure that there is no risk of accidental insulin delivery. Press d to move to the STOP YOUR PUMP screen. Press f to select.

Your doctor or healthcare team can help you to understand how to use the pump. Note 2.5.1 Programming your basal rate profile An Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump basal rate profile consists of up to 24 different hourly basal rates. Each hourly rate may be changed independently. The total of all 24 basal rates in one basal rate profile is called the (daily) basal rate total. Your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump delivers insulin every 3 minutes, in 20 equal doses every hour, 24 hours a day. This flow of insulin, measured in international units per hour (U / h), is called the basal rate profile and is calculated to meet your basic insulin needs. The pump can store up to five different basal rate profiles to match your changing insulin needs – for example: Monday to Friday, Exercise Day or Sleeping Late Day. For your safety and convenience during programming, your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump switches to RUN or STOP screen if no key is pressed within 20 seconds. Any changes you have made before this “time-out” occurs will not be saved . Example: Basal rate profile for 18 U / 24 hours Insulin delivery [U / h] Hourly basal rate 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Time 35 Your basal rate profile should be reviewed: jj After any programming changes are made to your pump jj After a new battery is inserted jj After confirming the Error E7: ELECTRONIC ERROR.

You can use one of our special carrying systems that enable you to carry your pump on or under your clothes. Remember to wear your pump under your clothes or directly on your body in cold or wet weather. Caution When wearing your pump, prevent any contact with objects that could damage it or accidentally press its keys (e.g. key chains, keys, pocket knives or coins). Warning Do not use your pump near electromagnetic fields such as radar or antenna installations, high-voltage sources, X-Ray sources, computer tomography, MRI, CAT scan, and all other sources of electrical current, as they may cause your pump to fail. Insulin delivery may stop and an Error E7: ELECTRONIC ERROR may occur. Always stop your pump, remove and leave it outside these areas. See Appendix A: Technical Data for more information about electromagnetic fields. 61 Your pump has been tested against, and complies with, the regulations on electromagnetic interference. Security systems in airports and anti-theft monitoring devices, such as those in department stores, should not normally affect the functioning of your pump. Because there are so many devices, such as cellular phones, that emit electromagnetic radiation, the effect of such devices on your pump cannot be ruled out. It is therefore recommended to keep your pump at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from these devices while they are active. Do not use your pump in hyperbaric chambers or in hazardous areas, such as areas where flammable gases or vapours could be present. This could cause an explosion. Always stop and remove your pump before you enter these areas. If you have questions, contact your local pump support (see inside back cover). Your pump is designed to work in normal barometric conditions (from 700 to 1060 mbar). 62 3.1.2 Sport and exercise Exercise is an important part of diabetes management. Your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump is designed to enable you to safely perform a range of sporting activities while wearing your pump. It is important that you protect your pump before you begin exercise or sporting activities. Do not wear your pump for sports that involve body contact such as boxing, football or hockey, since rough contact could damage your pump. Consult our sterile product brochures and accessories catalogue for more information about carrying systems or contact your local pump support (see the inside back cover) for more information. 3 Note Rapid and extreme changes in air pressure, for example in an air plane that is taking off or when practicing sports like hang-gliding, can influence insulin delivery, especially if there are air bubbles in the cartridge or tubing. This also applies to rapid and extreme changes in temperature; for example, when leaving a heated room and going outside in cold weather. We therefore recommend that you wear your pump close to your body, remove any air bubbles from the cartridge and tubing and also measure your blood sugar more frequently in such situations. 3.1.3 Travelling with your pump Ask your doctor or healthcare team about any special steps you need to take before you travel. Take extra blood glucose testing and pump supplies with you, and find out where to obtain supplies while you are travelling. When you travel across time zones, make sure that the time and date on your pump are set correctly to the local time. If you have questions, contact your local pump support (see the inside back cover). Warning You must ensure that the Bluetooth ® function is switched off before boarding an aircraft, as emissions from your pump or the Meter could interfere with the electronics systems of the aircraft. See section 6.2 Switching Bluetooth ® ON and OFF 63 3.2 Interruption of insulin pump therapy Consult with your doctor or healthcare team about when and for how long your insulin pump therapy can be interrupted. Measure your blood glucose level regularly during any insulin interruption. Use a syringe or insulin pen to inject insulin according to the instructions of your doctor or healthcare team. Warning Because only rapid-acting insulin is used for insulin pump therapy, only a small amount of insulin is stored in the body. If insulin delivery is interrupted for any reason – such as: jj If you stop the pump jj There is a technical problem with the pump jj The cartridge is leaking and /or the infusion set is leaking jj There is occlusion in the infusion set or in the headset jj The cannula has slipped out of the infusion site – you must check your blood glucose level and replace the missing insulin immediately. 64 3 3.2.1 Short interruptions 1. 2.

This enables you to match your changing insulin needs due to increased or decreased activity level, illness, or stress. Typically, a basal rate is set to 100 %, but you can: jj Increase it to 250 % for up to 24 hours jj Decrease it to 0 % for up to 24 hours When you increase or decrease your basal rate, each hourly basal rate for the duration you program is increased or decreased automatically. The characteristic shape of your basal rate profile remains and does not become a flat curve, if the change is larger than 0 %. For 0 % the basal rate profile becomes a flat line and no insulin (except boluses) is delivered during the programmed duration. Discuss programming a Temporary Basal Rate with your doctor or healthcare team. 93 Note A running Temporary Basal Rate increase or decrease remains active, even if you have changed the basal rate profile. You can only program a Temporary Basal Rate when your pump is in RUN mode. Procedure for programming a Temporary Basal Rate 94 1. 2. Press d to move to the Temporary Basal Rate (TBR) screen.

Any problems that generate a Warning or Error are described in chapter 8. Note The solutions provided in this chapter will normally enable you to resolve the problem and continue with your pump therapy. However, if the recommended action does not resolve the problem, or if you have any concerns, do not hesitate to contact your local pump support (see inside back cover) or your doctor or healthcare team. Note Troubleshooting information relating to the Bluetooth ® connection between the Meter and the Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump is included in chapter 6 Using the Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump with the Meter. Also refer to the documentation (Owner’s Booklet) that comes with the Meter. Although your pump has an internal security check system, it cannot for example detect if your infusion set is leaking or if the insulin you are using has lost its effectiveness. These problems can result in a rapid rise in your blood glucose level. Therefore, it is essential to check your pump and blood glucose level during the day. 171 9.1 Therapy-related issues Many factors – such as alcohol consumption, medication, decreased activity, illness and stress – can affect your blood glucose level. Contact your doctor or healthcare team for advice on how to manage these, or any other therapy-related issues. 172 Problem Recommended Action Individual characters, numbers, or symbols on the display are shown incompletely or not at all. Contact your local pump support (details on inside back cover). Your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump does not beep or vibrate. Check that the beep volume and alarm signals are turned on. Check the battery and change it if necessary. If the pump still does not beep or vibrate, contact your local pump support (details on inside back cover). The self-test is not completed correctly (after an Error E7: ELECTRONIC ERROR). Remove the battery, wait a few seconds, and insert it again. If the self-test is still not completed correctly, contact your local pump support (details on inside back cover). Insulin delivery is incorrect due to inaccurate time setting. If the time setting is inaccurate, the correct hourly basal rate cannot be delivered. Check and reset the time if necessary. Perform the same check whenever you change the battery. Insulin delivery is incorrect due to incorrect basal rate programming. Review any changes that you have made to your basal rate programming, to ensure that you are using the correct basal rate profile. 9 Problem Recommended Action There are air bubbles in the cartridge and /or infusion set. Check your blood glucose level. In the cartridge: Disconnect the infusion set from the headset and re-prime the infusion set. If the air bubbles remain, replace the cartridge. Always fill the cartridge with insulin that is at room temperature. In the infusion set: Disconnect from the headset and prime your infusion set. Reconnect the headset and ensure that all connections are tight and secure. The cartridge is empty. Replace the cartridge. (Cartridges are for single use only.) The infusion set is disconnected or dislodged. Check your blood glucose level. Make sure that all the connections are tight. Inspect the connections for leaking insulin. Change your infusion set and infusion site. 173 174 Problem Recommended Action There is a leak in the system. Check your blood glucose level. Check for leaking insulin at all the connection points and on the skin. Change the infusion set, the infusion site, the cartridge and the adapter. There is an occlusion (blockage) in the system. Check your blood glucose level. Follow the instructions in chapter 8 Error E4: OCCLUSION. Priming was not completed (E11 or air bubbles in infusion set). Re-prime the infusion set. Always prime until a bubble-free insulin flow emerges from the tip of the needle. Ensure that the tubing is free of air.

Data transfer Infrared interface Safety system Alert system, beeps, information on the display, vibrations, dual microprocessors. Your insulin pump is controlled by two microprocessors. The safety concept is based on one processor (supervisor processor) supervising the other (main processor). Whenever a defect or fault occurs in the main processor, it is identified by the supervisor processor. The motor is immediately switched off and an Error E7: ELECTRONIC ERROR occurs. Conversely, the main processor can also determine at any time whether the supervisor is working correctly. The motor also constitutes an important safety component, as the combination of the main and supervisor processor and brushless motor provides the best possible reliability and accuracy in insulin delivery.

It also enables remote control of your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump, using Bluetooth ® wireless technology. Adapter The adapter connects the cartridge and infusion set. It has two seals and forms an efficient seal for the cartridge compartment of your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump. The two small vents on the adapter allow the equalization of air pressure. Automatic Off Automatic Off is a safety feature that stops insulin delivery and triggers an Error if no keys are pressed within a programmed time period in RUN mode. See the entry in chapter 5 Persona lizing your pump. Basal rate This is the amount of insulin delivered per hour that is required to cover your basic insulin needs. In insulin pump therapy, your basal rate is determined together with your doctor or healthcare team and can be adjusted to meet your individual physiological needs throughout the day. Your basal rate is delivered by your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump according to the curve of your personal basal rate profile or profiles. Basal rate profile Your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump offers you the option of delivering up to five different basal rate profiles in order to easily meet your changing insulin needs (for example during the week rather than at the weekend). A basal rate profile consists of 24 programmed hourly basal rates. Basal rate total The sum of all 24 hourly basal rates in one basal rate profile is called the (daily) basal rate total. 209 Bluetooth ® wireless technology The term “Bluetooth” refers to a wireless technology that allows digital devices to transfer data at high speed. This technology is common in many portable devices such as portable PCs, Personal Digital Assistants and mobile telephones. Bolus The amount of insulin delivered (in addition to the basal rate) to cover the intake of food and to correct high blood glucose levels. The bolus amount is determined by your doctor or healthcare team’s guidelines, your blood glucose level, your food intake and your activity level. Carrying system A wide variety of carrying systems made of different materials are specially designed to suit your individual needs while wearing your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump. Cartridge The insulin reservoir of your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump. It holds 3.15 ml (315 U) of rapid-acting insulin. 210 Cartridge compartment The chamber in your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump for the cartridge. Daily insulin total The total amount of insulin delivered (basal rate plus boluses) delivered in a 24-hour day, beginning at midnight. This amount does not include any insulin needed for the priming of infusion sets. Factory settings Your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump is provided by Disetronic Medical Systems with a standard configuration (factory settings). These settings can be adapted to your individual needs directly on your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump or by using the Accu-Chek Insulin Pump Configuration Software. Hourly basal rate An hourly basal rate is the amount of insulin delivered by your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump in three-minute intervals for each hour. Infusion set Infusion sets connect your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump to your body. The insulin is delivered from the cartridge through the infusion set tubing and cannula or needle into your subcutaneous tissue. Infusion sets can be disconnectable or non-disconnectable. Infusion site The place where the infusion set cannula or needle is inserted into your subcutaneous tissue to deliver insulin. Insulin A hormone that helps cells transform glucose into energy. Insulin is produced in the beta cells of the pancreas (also called islets of Langerhans). Insulin (rapid-acting) A type of insulin created using recombinant DNA technology. The onset time of insulin analogue is shorter than the onset time of regular insulin. IPX8 according to IEC 60529 Protection against the effects of temporary immersion in water. Ingress of water in quantities causing damage is not possible when the device is temporarily immersed in water under standardized conditions (maximal 60 minutes a day and 2.5 meters [8 feet]). Luer-lock connector A standardized fitting at the end of the infusion set which allows to tightly connect the infusion set and cartridge through the adapter. Meter See Accu-Chek Aviva Combo. Occlusion An occlusion is a blockage which prevents the insulin from flowing correctly from the insulin pump into the body. 211 Personal settings Your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump must be programmed with your personal settings prior to starting insulin pump therapy. Personal settings include the basal rate profile(s), the correct time and date and all other variable values which can be tailored to your individual needs on your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump or using Accu-Chek Insulin Pump Configuration Software. Rapid-acting Insulin See Insulin (rapid acting). RUN During normal use, your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump is in RUN mode and insulin is continuously delivered. Boluses, Temporary Basal Rates and almost all functions can be programmed from RUN mode. RUN screen The RUN screen is the starting point for all functions which can be accessed while your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump delivers insulin. Your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump displays the RUN screen during normal use when no programming is being performed. The time, current hourly basal rate, selected basal rate profile and all currently activated functions appear on the RUN screen. Settings Settings are individually programmable values and parameters that affect the way your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump works. Scrolling Scrolling allows a fast and easy programming of a range of values. STOP When your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump is in STOP, it does not deliver any insulin. The insulin delivery is only stopped if an Error occurs or if your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump is put into a necessary STOP, (e.g. when changing the cartridge, adapter or infusion set or for data transfer). Functions such as Extended Bolus or Temporary Basal Rate are interrupted by putting your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump into STOP. 212 STOP screen The STOP screen is the starting point for all functions that require that your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump does not deliver insulin. Temporary Basal Rate Temporary increase or decrease of your basal rate profile in percentages (from 0 – 250 %) to match changing insulin needs due to increased or decreased activity level, illness or stress. U100 This is the insulin concentration. Each milliliter of liquid contains 100 International Units of insulin. Your insulin pump has been developed exclusively for delivery of U100 rapid-acting insulin. 213 214 Index Abbreviations. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 194
