Dear User of the Accu-Chek Insight insulin pump,
This User's Manual is provided for you as a person with diabetes, as a parent or caregiver of a person with diabetes or as a healthcare professional. It contains all the information you need for the safe and efficient use of your new Accu-Chek Insight insulin pump. Regardless of your level of experience with pump therapy, read this manual carefully before using your pump. This manual should be your first source of information for any questions or problems you may have when using your insulin pump. If you cannot find the answer in these pages, we recommend that you contact your local pump support (see inside back cover page). Make sure that you carry out the instructions in this manual exactly as described. Failure to do so could lead to underdelivery or overdelivery of insulin and may result in death or serious consequences for your health. The Accu-Chek® Insight insulin pump is intended for continuous insulin infusion with short-acting regular human U100 insulin, or rapid-acting U100 insulin analogs in the treatment of diabetes mellitus requiring insulin.
Whether insulin pump therapy is the appropriate way of treating your diabetes mellitus must be decided by your healthcare professional.
You should not begin pump therapy unless you have attended the required training course.
The exact insulin type for the treatment of your diabetes will be prescribed by your healthcare professional.
Your insulin pump is contraindicated for the delivery of medication other than U100 short-acting regular human insulin or rapid-acting insulin analogue.
Also consult the instructions that come with your insulin and infusion set.
WARNING

1 Pump Features
Guided handling sequences (wizards)
Pump therapy sometimes involves complex steps. For several functions which need to be performed in a specific order, your pump offers pre-programmed wizards to guide you through the process.
You will find wizards to help you with:
■Inserting a new cartridge
■Filling the infusion set
■Inserting a new battery
Pairing
■Bluetooth® wireless technology
3 basic modes
RUN mode: When working normally, your pump is in RUN mode. In this mode your pump is delivering insulin to your body in terms of the basal rate, boluses and Temporary Basal Rates (TBR).
PAUSE mode: When you remove the battery or cartridge while your pump is in RUN mode, or after some maintenance messages, your pump switches to PAUSE mode. The insulin delivery stops automatically and restarts as soon as you confirm the respective messages and insert a new battery or cartridge where required. Any current Temporary Basal Rates and boluses will continue. Furthermore, the basal rate missed while the pump was in PAUSE mode will be delivered on top of the ongoing basal rate once the pump is back in RUN mode.
STOP mode: When the pump is in PAUSE mode for more than 15 minutes, it switches to STOP mode. The Pump stopped screen appears and the pump stops completely and cancels all current Temporary Basal Rates and boluses. From STOP mode, you have to restart your pump from the main Menu and program your Temporary Basal Rates and boluses again. See chapter 3.2, page 34. If you want to stop your pump for any reason, you can also switch it to STOP mode using the main Menu.
Adjust the display to suit your needs
You can adjust the brightness of your pump's full colour display to best suit your needs. You can also change its background colour to your personal preference. Rotating the display allows you to read it from an awkward angle (for example, when the pump is attached to your belt). See chapter 8.3.5, page 74.
Enlarge the display texts for better readability
Using the zoom key you can enlarge the size of the display text for better readability. See chapter 1.1.4, page 15.
User profiles for special situations
With the user profile Expressive enabled, the scrolling functions of the pump are disabled so that all values can only be programmed in distinct increments. Additionally, sound patterns will help you verify that you programmed a value correctly. This may be helpful if you have impaired eyesight. For
1 PUMP FEATURES
more information, contact your local pump support (see inside back cover page).
With the user profile Diminished enabled, all acoustic signals will occur one octave lower. This may be helpful if you have impaired hearing. See chapter 8.3.2, page 71.
Lock the keys to prevent accidental pressing
The key lock disables the keys on the front of your pump so that they cannot be pressed accidentally when wearing your pump under clothing. The key lock is activated by default. The key lock does not lock the quick bolus keys ☐. The quick bolus keys ☐ still work even if the key lock for the front keys is active. To unlock the front keys, press the following keys within 1 second: One of the ☐ keys and then ▲ and then ▼, or one of the ☐ keys and then ▼ and then ▲. See chapter 8.3.3, page 72.
Set hourly basal rates from 0.02 to 25 U/h
You can program individual hourly basal rates for every hour of the day in up to 24 time blocks from 15 minutes to 24 hours. The hourly basal rate can be set from as low as 0.02 up to 25 U/h. Remember that your basal rate profile should always be provided by, or discussed with, your healthcare professional.
Program up to 5 different basal profiles
You can define up to 5 basal profiles, each aligned with a different daily routine. For example, you can create one profile for work days and one for weekends. See chapter 5, page 47.
Use pre-filled cartridges
You can use the following pre-filled cartridges with your Accu-Chek Insight insulin pump:
■NovoRapid® PumpCart® (prefilled cartridge containing 1.6 ml solution for injection)
■Fiasp®, PumpCart® (prefilled cartridge containing 1.6 ml solution for injection)
Check the availability in your country or ask your local pump support.
Detect occlusions
Your pump detects any blockages in the infusion set that could prevent insulin delivery. You will be prompted with an appropriate maintenance message. However, the pump cannot detect when the infusion set is leaking or when the cannula has slipped out of the infusion site.
2 options to deliver a standard bolus
To program and deliver a standard bolus, you have 2 options: either walk through the menus or use the quick bolus feature that allows you to program a standard bolus in distinct increments without even looking at the display. See chapter 4.1, page 39. See chapter 4.2, page 40.
Adjustable bolus speed
You can adjust the delivery speed of the boluses. A lower bolus delivery speed may be helpful if you have high bolus amounts that cause insulin to leak from your skin after delivery or if you experience pain during bolus delivery. See chapter 8.4.2, page 77.
Use a delay (lag time) before bolus delivery
In some situations (for example gastroparesis), it might be helpful to start a bolus after you start eating. With the lag setting you can specify a delay between programming a bolus and the actual start of bolus delivery. Discuss using the lag setting with your healthcare team. See chapter 8.4.2, page 77.
Extended bolus
For situations that require delivery of bolus insulin over a period of time instead of all at once, you can use an extended bolus. The extended bolus amount is delivered over a period of time that you can adjust as necessary. This can be especially helpful when you eat foods that are slow to digest or attend long-lasting buffets. See chapter 4.4, page 43.
Multiwave bolus
In situations where you eat meals containing both slow- and fast-acting carbohydrates, you might consider having a fast and a long bolus together. The multiwave bolus combines a standard and an extended
bolus, providing both an immediate and a long-acting part. This could also be a good option when you plan to eat slow-acting carbohydrates and need to correct an elevated blood glucose level at the same time. See chapter 4.5, page 44.
Different modes for different life situations
Your pump offers a range of modes to fit a variety of life situations.
For example:
■During meetings your pump can be switched to Quiet mode. At night it can delay non-critical warning messages to a specified wake-up time.
In flight mode your pump's communication ability via Bluetooth wireless technology is turned off.
See chapter 7, page 57.
Customisable reminders
Many aspects of your diabetes management require regular attention and action. Your pump can assist you with a set of reminders that help you remember:
■To deliver a bolus
■To change the infusion set
■To change the battery
■To check when you might have missed a bolus
You can even program alarm clocks for your personal convenience. See chapter 8.1, page 59.

2 Starting Your Pump
This chapter explains how to prepare your new insulin pump and begin pump therapy.
Before you can start your pump, you need to:
■Insert the battery
■Set the time and date
■Program at least one basal profile
■Insert the cartridge
■Connect the infusion set's tubing with the adapter to the pump and fill it with insulin
■Connect the tubing to the infusion set's head set and fill the head set with insulin (prime the infusion set)
Remember that successful pump therapy requires you to check your blood glucose level frequently. It is therefore recommended that you use a blood glucose meter as often as instructed by your doctor or healthcare team (at least 4 times a day).

WARNING
This product contains small parts. There is a risk of suffocation if small parts (e.g. covers, caps or similar objects) are swallowed.
2.1 Choosing the Correct Battery Type
Your Accu-Chek Insight insulin pump requires a 1.5 V AAA battery.
WARNING
We recommend Energizer® Ultimate Lithium batteries (FR03) as these were successfully tested with the Accu-Chek Insight insulin pump. See Appendix A: Technical Data, page 98 for more information about the lifetime of battery.

If you intend to use a different type of lithium battery, this battery must comply with IEC 60086-4. In this case contact your local pump support.
If you intend to use alkaline batteries, the batteries must be suitable for energy-intensive devices, such as camera flash units.
Alkaline batteries have a significantly shorter lifetime compared to lithium batteries. Use alkaline batteries only if you have no lithium batteries at hand.
Do not use any other batteries, such as carbon zinc batteries, rechargeable batteries, used or expired batteries. These batteries have a significantly reduced battery lifetime and may cause your insulin pump to shut down with no prior warning.
Make sure you specify the correct battery type on your insulin pump. Otherwise, the remaining battery lifetime may not be calculated correctly.

STARTING YOUR PUMP
Battery selection screen

2.2 Changing the Battery
Ensure that you always have a new battery with you. It is vital to change the lithium battery every 2 weeks, regardless of the battery indicator.
Before changing the battery, make sure that it is not damaged (e.g. damaged plastic isolation coating) or leaking; a damaged or leaking battery could damage your pump. If you dropped the battery, use a new one.
After changing the battery, check the status screen of your insulin pump and make sure that time, date and basal rate are set properly. If this is not the case, put your insulin pump in STOP mode, then back in RUN mode or contact your local pump support.
You can optimise the battery lifetime by following these recommendations:
■If no device is paired with your insulin pump, you can switch off communication via Bluetooth wireless technology to reduce energy consumption.
■If your insulin pump is paired with a device that allows you to control the insulin pump, use this device to reduce frequent usage of the pump display.
■You can lower the display brightness.
■Protect your insulin pump from direct exposure to cold wind and temperatures
over 40 °C (104 °F) and below 5 °C (41 °F).
■Change your battery cover if it looks used or dirty and at least every 6 months.
Removing the battery
If you remove the battery while your pump is delivering insulin (RUN mode), the insulin delivery pauses automatically (PAUSE mode). The pump will emit a beep every 8 seconds for as long as the battery is removed while the pump is in PAUSE mode.
When you remove the battery, your pump stores the time and date for about 10 hours.
If you insert a new battery within 15 minutes, Temporary Basal Rates and boluses that were running before the pump went in PAUSE mode will continue.
Furthermore, the basal rate missed while the pump was in PAUSE mode will be delivered on top of the ongoing basal rate once the pump is back in RUN mode.
If the pump has been without a battery for more than 15 minutes, the pump stops completely (STOP mode) and cancels Temporary Basal Rates and boluses. Once you have replaced the battery, you have to restart the pump from the main Menu screen and program any Temporary Basal Rates and boluses again. See chapter 3.2, page 34.
Your insulin pump settings (such as the basal rates, remaining cartridge content, bolus increment, active user profile, or alarm settings) and event memory (bolus and alarm history, history of daily insulin totals and Temporary Basal Rates) are always saved, regardless of the battery
condition or the amount of time your pump has been without power.
Inserting the battery
Ensure that no dirt or dust can enter the battery compartment while changing the battery. When you start your pump for the first time, begin with step 6.
1

To avoid accidental insulin delivery, ensure that the infusion set is not connected to your body.
2

Turn the adapter anti-clockwise to a 90° position.
3

Push the battery cover release in the direction of the arrow (towards the cartridge compartment).

Once you have inserted the battery, the pump begins its start-up process. If the pump does not begin the start-up process after the battery has been inserted, make sure that the battery is inserted correctly (+ positive end first).
The first time you insert a battery or after the pump has been without a battery for more than 10 hours, the setup wizard
launches to help you program your pump's initial settings, such as the time and date.
2.3 Start-Up Process and Setup Wizard
After you insert a new battery, your pump immediately performs a self-test. Check the display and the beeps and vibrations to be sure that your pump is working properly.
If anything in the self-test does not seem to work properly, contact your local pump support.
The start-up process is different when you:
■Start your pump for the first time
■Start your pump after it has been out of power for more than 10 hours
■Insert a new battery while the pump is in PAUSE mode
You will learn more about this in the following chapter.
Note
■If you are in the status screen and you

do not press the □, ▲ or ▼ key for more than 10 seconds, these keys will be locked. The key lock does not lock the
quick bolus keys. See chapter 8.3.3, page 72.
■If you suspect the pump is damaged, for example, when it has been dropped, you can take out and reinsert the battery to start the self-test. See chapter 9.4, page 86.

STARTING YOUR PUMP
2.4 Program Basal Profile 1
Your pump delivers a continuous stream of insulin to cover your basic insulin need. This is called your basal rate profile. You can program it in time blocks with different hourly basal rates to cover your varying basal insulin requirement throughout the day. By default your pump shows 24 time blocks, one for each hour of the day. By changing the End time you can program a varying number of time blocks (1 to 24) with a minimum duration of 15 minutes and a maximum duration of 24 hours, if needed.
The total of all time blocks is called a basal profile or basal rate profile. Make sure that you have programmed an hourly basal rate for all 24 hours of the day.
Your personal settings for the basal profile should be provided by your healthcare professional.

WARNING
If an empty cartridge is inserted into the pump (for example for training purposes), the pump displays the programmed insulin deliveries (infusion set priming, basal rate and bolus deliveries), even though no insulin is being delivered due to the empty cartridge.
Changing the transfer set (adapter and tubing)
After you have connected a new adapter, it is essential that you fill the transfer set and cannula with insulin. The amount of insulin used for filling is not added to the pump's history of daily insulin totals.
Hold your pump upright during filling so that the adapter points upwards to help release any remaining air bubbles from the cartridge and tubing. If no insulin emerges from the connector, or if there are air bubbles in the tubing after filling, repeat the filling process until the infusion set is bubble-free and completely filled with insulin.
WARNING
Air bubbles in the cartridge and infusion set may result in the infusion of air instead of insulin. If this happens, your body will not receive the required amount of insulin. Remove air bubbles when you fill the cartridge and infusion set, with the tubing disconnected from your body.
The Fill tubing screen appears.
12

Make sure the infusion set is not connected to your body.
Press ☐ to confirm.
WARNING

3 Using Your Pump in Daily Life
3.1 Wearing Your Pump
Attach your pump safely to your body or clothes to prevent damage. You can do this with one of our special carrying systems. In cold weather wear your pump under your clothes or directly on your body.
WARNING
Make sure that the infusion set is never kinked nor compressed. Otherwise the insulin cannot flow freely, which could result in underdelivery or overdelivery of insulin.
Note
When wearing your pump, prevent any contact with objects in your pockets, such as key chains, keys or coins. These could damage the pump or accidentally press its keys.
3.1.1 When and When not to Wear Your Pump
There are a few situations where it is recommended that you take off your pump, because your pump could be damaged or other risks could arise. Take off your pump in these situations and change to alternative therapy if needed. Examples of such situations are listed on the following pages.
Electromagnetic fields and hazardous areas
WARNING
Do not use your pump near electromagnetic fields such as radar or antenna installations, high-voltage sources, X-Ray sources, computer tomography, CAT scan and MRI. These and all other sources of electrical current may cause your pump to fail. Insulin delivery may stop and the pump displays Error E7: Electronic error.
Always stop your pump, remove it from your body, and leave it outside these areas. See Appendix A: Technical Data, page 98 for more information about electromagnetic fields.
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 affect the functioning of your pump.
There are many devices that emit electromagnetic radiation, for example mobile phones. It cannot be completely ruled out that one of such devices could affect your pump. It is therefore recommended that you keep your pump at least 10 cm (4 inches) away from these devices while they are active.
3
Your pump is designed to work in normal barometric conditions (from 550 to 1060 mbar).
Do not use your pump in hyperbaric chambers, or in hazardous areas where, for example, flammable gases or vapours could be present. This could cause an explosion.
Always stop and disconnect your pump from your body before you enter hazardous areas. For more information, contact your local pump support (see inside back cover page).
Note
Rapid and extreme changes in air pressure or temperature can influence insulin delivery, especially if there are air bubbles in the cartridge or tubing.
Such changes could occur when you are, for example:
■in an airplane without pressure balance during take-off
■when practising sports like hang-gliding
■leaving a heated room and going outside in cold weather.
Wear your pump close to your body, remove any air bubbles from the cartridge and tubing and measure your blood glucose more frequently in such situations.
Where in doubt, take off the pump and change to alternative therapy method.
Sport and exercise
You can wear your pump while performing a range of sporting activities. However, it is important that you protect your pump before you begin exercise or sporting activities. Do not wear your pump when practising sports that involve high-impact body contact such as boxing or rugby. Rough contact could damage your pump.
Consult our accessories catalogue for more information about carrying systems, or contact your local pump support (see inside back cover page).
Travelling with your pump
Before travelling, ask your doctor or healthcare team about any special steps you need to take. Take extra blood glucose testing and pump supplies with you, and find out where to obtain supplies while you are travelling.
For more information, contact your local pump support (see inside back cover page).
3.2 Stopping and Starting Your Pump
You should discuss with your doctor or healthcare team when and for how long insulin delivery may be interrupted.
Check your blood glucose level regularly any time insulin delivery is interrupted. If necessary, use a syringe or insulin pen to inject insulin according to the instructions of your doctor or healthcare team.
WARNING
Check your blood glucose level and replace the missing insulin immediately if your insulin delivery is interrupted for any reason, for example:
■You stop the pump
■There is a technical problem with the pump
■The cartridge and/or the infusion set is leaking
■There is an occlusion in the infusion set
■The cannula has slipped out of the infusion site

Make sure you store your pump properly. See chapter 9.6, page 87.
3.3 Your Insulin Pump and Water
Your pump is waterproof according to the IPX8 standard. However, since the adapter of the infusion set is not watertight, water may enter the cartridge compartment. If water does enter the pump, follow the instructions in this chapter.
If your pump has been dropped, it may no longer be waterproof due to hairline cracks. Therefore it is highly recommended that you no longer wear it while swimming, bathing or showering. See chapter 9.4, page 86.
When water has entered the cartridge or battery compartment
Water may enter into the cartridge compartment through the adapter if the pump has been immersed in water. If water
has entered the cartridge or battery compartment, put your pump into STOP mode and disconnect the pump from your body. Use a soft cloth to dry the outside of the pump, turn your pump upside down to let the water run out, and leave it to dry. Do not use warm air such as a hair dryer or microwave to dry the pump as this could damage the pump's housing. Make sure that the cartridge and battery compartments are completely dry before reinserting the cartridge or battery. Make sure that you use a new battery cover.
Contact with other liquids
You do not need to worry about contact between your pump and perspiration or saliva. However, you must check your pump immediately after contact with other liquids or chemicals, such as:
■Cleaning solutions
Drinks
Oil or fat
Avoid any contact between the pump or infusion set and health and beauty products (for example; antiseptics, antibiotic creams, soaps, perfumes, deodorants, body lotions or other cosmetics). These substances could discolour your pump or fog the display.

The multiwave bolus combines a standard bolus with an extended bolus; one part of the bolus amount is delivered immediately while the other is delivered over a specified period of time.
This bolus can be helpful when you eat meals that contain carbohydrates that can be digested both rapidly and slowly, or long meals with several courses. You can also use this bolus type when you are planning to eat carbohydrates that are digested slowly but have an elevated blood glucose level before the meal. You program the immediate part of the bolus to correct the blood glucose level and the delayed part for the carbohydrates.
The duration of the delayed bolus delivery can be programmed in 15-minute intervals for up to 24 hours, and begins immediately after you confirm the bolus. Throughout the bolus delivery, your pump displays the remaining time and amount of the bolus in the status screen.
You can add a standard or quick bolus to an in-progress multiwave bolus, and one additional extended or multiwave bolus.
Example
lan is invited to dinner. He will have pastries as a starter and steak with potatoes as his main course. In addition, his blood glucose level is slightly outside the target range before the meal. He programs a multiwave bolus of 15 units in total: an immediate dose of 5 units for the starter and the correction of his high blood glucose level, and 10 units over a period of 3 hours.

5 Basal Profile Options
In this chapter you will learn how to adjust your basal insulin supply to different life situations:
■Temporary Basal Rates help you to adjust your basal rate to short term changes of your basal insulin requirement like for example when you are ill or when you are playing sports.
■You can also program additional basal profiles to meet your insulin need for different daily routines; for example, working days versus weekends.
■Once programmed you can activate the different basal profiles when needed with a few key presses.
5.1 Temporary Basal Rate (TBR)
Using the Temporary Basal Rate (TBR), you can increase or decrease your current basal rate profile on a percentage basis for a specified period of time. This helps you adjust your basal insulin dose in situations where your insulin need has temporarily changed. For example, when you are playing sports you might need less insulin, and when you are ill you might need more insulin. Discuss the use of Temporary Basal Rates with your doctor or healthcare team.
Your current basal rate profile represents 100 %. When you increase or decrease the basal rate with a TBR, the shape of your profile does not change, but each hourly basal rate is either increased or decreased by the percentage that you program. You can activate only 1 TBR at a time, between 0 and 250 % in 15-minute intervals for up to 24 hours.
Example
Ian is planning to play tennis for 1 hour. He knows that his body needs 40 % less insulin during this kind of activity and for another 2 hours while recovering. He programs a TBR of 60 % for the next 3 hours.
Note
Setting a TBR does not affect any boluses you have set up.

You can program up to 5 different basal profiles. Discuss using different basal profiles with your doctor or healthcare team.
Example
Ian is a construction worker and from Monday to Friday he is on his feet from early morning until the end of the day. At the weekend, he likes to sleep in late and read books for hours. After discussing his varying daily routines with his doctor, Ian programmed basal profile 1 for working days. He also programmed basal profile 2 that provides more basal insulin for Saturdays and Sundays.

8.2 Communicating with Other Devices
Using Bluetooth wireless technology, your pump can exchange data and even commands with other Accu-Chek devices such as a blood glucose meter or a personal computer using the Accu-Chek software.
Before your pump can communicate with another device it must be paired. That means the devices must be enabled to recognise each other with an individual code. When the pump is paired with another device, the pump and the device can exchange data with each other using a stable and secure connection via Bluetooth wireless technology.
Your pump can be paired with up to 5 other devices in total. If you want to pair another device when 5 devices are already paired with your pump, you have to delete the pairing of one of the paired devices first.
In this chapter you will learn how to:
■Switch Bluetooth wireless technology on and off
■Make your pump visible to other devices
■View the list of paired devices (Device list)
■Pair your pump with another device (Add device)
■Remove a device from the list of paired devices (Remove device)
Note
You can control your pump from another Accu-Chek device via Bluetooth wireless technology only if the display of the pump is off. If you unlock the keys of your pump while Bluetooth wireless technology is active, you will be asked if you would like to interrupt communication via Bluetooth wireless technology.

Select yes to operate your insulin pump from the display again. Select no to continue operating your pump from another Accu-Chek device.
8.2.1 Switching Bluetooth wireless technology On and Off
There are 2 ways to switch the communication via Bluetooth wireless technology on and off:
■You can use Flight mode. When Flight mode is on, Bluetooth wireless technology is switched off.
■You can switch Bluetooth wireless technology on or off in the Communication menu.

10 Responding to a Pump Message
Your pump helps you in your diabetes management with a variety of messages and safety information. It is vital that you pay attention to these messages and take action as necessary.
Your pump provides these messages using beeps and vibrations. You can turn off either the beeps or the vibrations, but for your safety you cannot turn off both at the same time for the initial alarm signal.
Your pump can signal the following messages:
| Reminders | You can program a variety of reminders to assist you in remembering the tasks of your diabetes management.Reminders will not stop insulin delivery. |
| Warnings | A warning will be triggered by the pump when it requires your attention soon. For example, when the cartridge is nearly empty, your pump displays Warning W31: Cartridge low.Warnings will not stop insulin delivery. |
| Maintenance messages | A maintenance message will be triggered when the pump requires your immediate action to maintain its functionality. For example, when the cartridge is empty your pump displays Maintenance M21: Cartridge empty. After a maintenance message occurs the pump will be in PAUSE or STOP mode. Restart insulin delivery as needed. |
| Errors | An error message indicates that your pump is not working properly at the moment. After an error the pump will be in STOP mode. You will learn about appropriate action in response to an error later in this chapter. |
All messages fall into the low-priority category according to EN 60601-1-8:2006.

| Safety | The safety concept is based on a control system which consists of two microprocessors and a supervisor microprocessor (supervising system).The control system is based on a dual channel software architecture which performs all safety-relevant functions twice. Whenever a defect or fault occurs in the control system, it is identified by the supervising microprocessor and vice versa. For example, if overdelivery occurs, the motor is immediately switched off and the pump displays Error E7: Electronic error.The control system and supervising system signalize the error acoustically (beeps) and in a tactile way (vibrations). Additionally the control system shows the specific error number on the pump display.The motor also constitutes an important safety component, as the combination of the control and supervising processors and brushless motor provides the best possible reliability and accuracy in insulin delivery. |

Glossary
| Automatic off Automatic | off is a safety feature that stops insulin delivery and triggers a maintenance message if no keys are pressed within a programmed time period in RUN mode. See chapter 8.4.1, page 76. |
| basal rate This is the amount of insulin delivered per hour that is required to cover your basal, meal-independent 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 insulin pump according to the curve of your personal basal profile or profiles. | |
| basal profile Your Accu-Chek Insight insulin pump offers you the option of delivering up to 5 different basal profiles in order to easily meet your changing insulin needs (for example during the week rather than at the weekend). A basal profile consists of 1 up to 24 hourly basal rates. | |
| basal profile total The sum of all 24 hourly basal rates in one basal profile is called the (daily) basal profile total. | |
| Bluetooth wireless technology | Bluetooth technology is the global wireless standard for simple, secure connectivity. This technology is common in many portable devices, such as, PCs or mobile phones. |
| 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 has been specially designed to suit your individual needs while wearing your insulin pump. | |
| Cartridge The insulin reservoir of your insulin pump. | |
| Cartridge compartment | The chamber in your insulin pump for the cartridge. |
| Daily insulin total The total amount of insulin (basal rate plus boluses) delivered in a 24-hour period, beginning at midnight. This amount does not include any insulin needed for the filling of infusion sets. | |
| Delivery speed This is the delivery speed of a bolus. It can be adjusted to 3, 6, 9 or 12 U/min. | |
| Error An error message indicates that your pump is not working properly at the moment. After an error the pump will be in STOP mode. | |
| Flight mode Activate the flight mode when airborne or in other situations where it is required to switch off Bluetooth wireless technology. In flight mode your pump cannot communicate with any other device. | |
| Hourly basal rate An hourly basal rate is the amount of insulin delivered by your Accu-Chek Insight insulin pump for each hour. | |
| Infusion set Infusion sets connect your 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 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 analogue (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. |
| Insulin, regular (short-acting) | Insulin that has the same chemical structure as insulin produced by the human pancreas. The onset time of regular insulin is 30 to 45 minutes. |
| 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 standardised conditions (maximum 60 minutes a day and 1.3 meters [4.3 feet]). |
| Lag Time With the lag time you can specify a delay between programming a bolus and the actual beginning of the bolus delivery. | |
| Maintenance A maintenance message will be triggered when the pump requires your immediate action to maintain its functionality. After a maintenance message the pump will be in PAUSE or STOP mode. Restart insulin delivery as needed. | |
| Modes With modes, you can pre-define the way your pump signals messages in different life situations. By default you can adjust the modes for Normal, Vibrate, Quiet and Loud. | |
| Occlusion An occlusion is a blockage which prevents the insulin from flowing correctly from the insulin pump into the body. | |
| PAUSE When you open the adapter and after some maintenance messages, your pump switches to PAUSE mode and interrupts the insulin delivery. However, if you close the adapter within 15 minutes, the insulin delivery will restart after confirmation, and the missing amount of basal insulin will be delivered additionally as well as boluses, and TBRs will continue. If the pump is in PAUSE mode for more than 15 minutes, it will switch to STOP mode. | |
| Personal settings Your insulin pump must be programmed with your personal settings prior to starting insulin pump therapy. Personal settings include the basal profile(s), the correct time and date, and all other variable values that can be tailored to your individual needs on your insulin pump. | |
| Status screen The status screen indicates if your pump is in RUN, PAUSE or STOP mode. Your insulin pump displays the status screen when no programming is being performed and no messages (error, maintenance, warning or reminder) are present. The time, current hourly basal rate, selected basal profile and some currently activated functions appear on the screen. Additionally, a progress bar indicates when a bolus or TBR is currently running. | |
| STOP When your insulin pump is in STOP mode, it does not deliver any insulin. The insulin delivery is only stopped if an error or some maintenance messages occurs, if it is in PAUSE mode for more than 15 minutes or if you switch it to STOP mode. Functions such as bolus or Temporary Basal Rate are interrupted by putting your insulin pump into STOP mode. | |
| Temporary Basal Rate (TBR) | Temporary increase or decrease of your basal 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 millilitre of liquid contains 100 International Units of insulin. Your insulin pump has been developed exclusively for delivery of U100 short-acting regular human insulin or rapid-acting insulin analogue. | |
| Warning A warning will be triggered by the pump when it requires your attention soon. | |
