Accu-Chek D-TRONplus insulin pump Reference Manual

Your insulin pump configuration and settings (basal rate, active profile, automatic off,
etc.) and the event memory (bolus history, history of daily totals, history of alerts and
errors) remain, irrespective of the PowerPack voltage and the time your insulin pump
has been without a PowerPack.
To prevent water from entering the pump casing, change the PowerPack only in a dry
environment and make sure that the seal of the PowerPack cover is not worn out or
missing and that the PowerPack is properly inserted.
Caution: When your insulin pump will not be in use for a long period of
time, it should be properly stored, to prevent a malfunction.
Caution: Always have extra PowerPacks available and pay attention to
the following:
• Do not store PowerPacks in the refrigerator or freezer. High humidity
and low temperature affects the PowerPack’s service life.
• Always keep PowerPacks in their original package until ready to use.
Prevent early discharge by avoiding contact between PowerPacks them-
selves and between PowerPacks and any other metal objects (coins,
keys, etc.).
• To operate your insulin pump, the temperature of the PowerPack must
be +5°C to +40°C (+41°F to +104°F).
• Change the PowerPack only in a dry environment.
• To tighten or loosen the PowerPack, use only the battery tool supplied
with your Accu-Chek D-TRONplus insulin pump (never use knives, coins,
screwdrivers and the like). The PowerPack is correctly inserted and tigh-
tened when the slot is parallel to the cartridge compartment (bayonet
lock). Do not over-tighten. Over-tightening may cause damage to the
battery cover and to the pump casing.
• Do not use a PowerPack that has been dropped.
• Use only original PowerPacks for the Accu-Chek D-TRONplus insulin
pump. Using PowerPacks other than those supplied or recommended
may significantly reduce the service life of the PowerPack and may lead
to leakage and corrosion of the PowerPack contacts within your insulin
pump. The use of PowerPacks not supplied or recommended may void
the warranty.
2.6 Accessories and disposables
Caution: Only use accessories and disposables that are designed for use
with your Accu-Chek D-TRONplus insulin pump. The proper functionality
of your insulin pump can only be guaranteed in conjunction with such
accessories and disposables. All accessories and disposables designed for
the Accu-Chek D-TRONplus insulin pump have been tested and approved
for use with your insulin pump. Other accessories and disposables may not
have been tested for compatibility and may endanger your health if used.
Always have extra accessories and disposables with you. This allows you
to change components when needed.
Materials designed for single use (such as cartridges, adapters, infusion
sets, etc.) should not be reused due to the increased risk of infections,
malfunctions and/or incorrect insulin delivery.
The accessories and disposables, which are intended for the use of your
Accu-Chek D-TRONplus insulin pump are listed in the product brochure or
in the infusion set leaflets. Please contact your Accu-Chek customer
service center for insulin pumps for further information.
PowerPack
A 3V lithium PowerPack provides your insulin pump with energy.
This PowerPack is specially designed for your insulin pump and
plays an important role in its integrity. A membrane in the
PowerPack cover equalizes the pressure between the outside
and the inside of the pump casing.The integrated seal ring forms
an efficient seal for the PowerPack compartment of your insulin
pump.
If the PowerPack gets low, an “Alert A2: Low PowerPack Warning” occurs. If the
PowerPack is depleted, an “Error E2: PowerPack Depleted” occurs.
After removing the PowerPack, your insulin pump keeps track of the time, date and
remaining cartridge content for approximately 1 hour only.
