5. Hold your ACCU-CHEK Spirit insulin pump

with the adapter pointing downwards.

6. Remove the adapter and cartridge from your pump by unscrewing the

adapter from the pump casing. Pulling the adapter from the pump casing
without completely unscrewing it may result in the plunger staying attached
to the piston rod. If this should happen, please call Pump Support at 
1-800-688-4578.

7. Remove the cartridge from the adapter and dispose of the cartridge properly.

8. Hold the adapter up to the light to check for signs of wear or dirt (especially

on the seals inside and outside of the adapter). It is recommended that you
replace the adapter at least every 10

th

insulin cartridge change.

9. If needed, clean the adapter using water and dry it. If it shows signs of

wear or dirt, replace it immediately.

10. Install a new cartridge and a new infusion set. See the following sections 

for instructions: “Changing the Infusion Set” (page 70), “Preparing the

Cartridge” (page 42), “Connecting the Cartridge, Adapter, and Infusion Set”
(page 47), “Inserting the Cartridge” (page 49), “Priming the Infusion Set”
(page 53), “Preparing the Infusion Site and Inserting the Infusion Set”
(page 56), and “Starting Insulin Delivery” (page 65).

Note:

Check the amount of insulin remaining in the cartridge at least once 
a day. Press the 

f key from the RUN or STOP screen to display 

the remaining cartridge content in units. Before going to sleep, make
sure that:

• the cartridge contains enough insulin to last through the night, and
• that the time and date are set correctly.
