Classified in accordance with CISPR 11, group 2, class B.

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.

During operation: +5 to +40 °C (+41 to +104 °F)
Storage in its shipping case: +5 to +45 °C (+41 to +113 °F)
During transport: –20 to +50 °C (–4 to +122 °F)

During operation: 20 to 90% relative humidity
Storage in its shipping case: 5 to 85% relative humidity
During transport: 5 to 95% relative humidity

During operation or storage in its shipping case: 50 to 106 kPA (500 to 1060mbar) (do not exceed 3000 meters [10 000 feet] above sea level) During transport: 50 to 106 kPA (500 to 1060mbar)

One 1.5 volt AA Alkaline (LR6) or Lithium (FR6) battery or one 1.2 volt rechargeable NiMH AA (HR6) battery. Batteries should have a minimum capacity of 2500mAh. Use only a battery charger officially recommended by the battery manufacturer. Do not use carbon zinc or nickel cadmium (NiCd) batteries.

If used in a typical usage pattern (50U /day using U100 insulin; operating temperature 23 °C ±2 °C [73 °F ±4 °F]) the battery life is approximately: 

Alkaline: 70 days for Bluetooth ® off; 30 days for Bluetooth ® on 

Lithium: 200 days for Bluetooth ® off; 80 days for Bluetooth ® on 

NiMH: 100 days for Bluetooth ® off; 40 days for Bluetooth ® on

The time and date are safely stored in the memory for about 1 hour after the battery has been removed. Other insulin pump settings (the hourly basal rates, remaining cartridge content, bolus increments and active user menu) and the event memory (bolus history, history of daily insulin totals, Temporary Basal Rate history, alarm history) are saved, regardless of battery voltage and the time your insulin pump has been without a battery.

Your Accu-Chek Spirit Combo insulin pump delivers insulin according to the programmed hourly basal rate, 24 hours a day. Minimal dose: 1/20 of the hourly basal rate, maximal 20 times per hour. Test interval: every 3 minutes.

Min. 0.05U/h, max. 25U/h. There are 24 hourly basal rates adjustable in 0.01 (up to 1.00U/h), 0.05 (up to 10.0U/h) and 0.1 (up to 25.0U/h) unit increments.

Adjustable in 10% increments, 0 –90% for decreases, 110–250% for increases. The duration is adjustable in 15 minute intervals, up to a maximum of 24 hours. The last programmed duration is given by default for the next Temporary Basal Rate change programmed.

The max. bolus amount per delivery is 25 insulin units. The bolus amount for the Quick Bolus is adjustable in increments of 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 units. For the Standard Bolus, Extended Bolus and Multiwave Bolus, the amount is adjustable in fixed increments of 0.1 units. The duration of the Extended Bolus and the Multiwave Bolus is adjustable in intervals of 15 minutes (15 minutes up to 12 hours).

Plastic cartridges:

at minimum basal rate 0.05U/h: ≤24 h

Plastic cartridges: ≤1.5U

400 kPa (4.0 bar), for plastic cartridges and infusion sets.

During infusion set priming and bolus: 0.2U /sec

≤1.0U
