correction boluses or meal boluses.
The Accu-Chek Guide Solo diabetes
manager includes a blood glucose
monitoring system that is intended for
self-testing.
1.2 Contraindications
The micropump system should not be used
by children under 2years of age or by
people who regularly require less than
0.1U/h of basal insulin. It is the
responsibility of the healthcare professional
to decide whether the accuracy of the
delivery rate is adequate for the patient in
question.
Your healthcare professional must decide
whether insulin pump therapy is suitable for
the treatment of your diabetes mellitus.
Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion
(CSII) with the micropump system is not
recommended or only recommended with
limitations for the following groups of
people:
ºPeople who are not able or willing to
either perform at least 4blood glucose
tests per day or use a continuous
glucose monitoring (CGM) system
reliably.
ºPeople who are not able to be in regular
contact with their healthcare
professional.
ºPeople who do not understand what is
required for insulin pump therapy or who
are not able to follow the instructions for
use of the micropump system.
ºPeople who cannot be relied upon due to
drug addiction, substance abuse or
mental illness.
ºPeople who are exposed to high ambient
temperatures on a regular basis.
ºPeople with skin that does not tolerate
adhesive pads.
ºPeople who often experience a cannula
occlusion.
ºPeople who are not able to notice alarms
because of physical limitations.
1.3 Risks and Benefits
Talk to your healthcare professional about
the benefits and potential risks that are
associated with using the micropump
system.
The intended clinical benefit of the
Accu-Chek Solo micropump system for the
patient is that it enables the intensive insulin
therapy (IIT), allowing the patient to flexibly
adjust basal-bolus insulin delivery to
changing insulin requirements in order to
achieve individual treatment goals.
To ensure that insulin pump therapy is safe
and successful, you must actively take part
in your therapy, test your glucose value
regularly and monitor the functions of the
micropump regularly.

PURPOSE OF THE MICROPUMP SYSTEM
In case of improper use of the micropump
system or non-compliance with your
healthcare professional’s instructions, you
risk experiencing, for example,
hypoglycaemia, hyperglycaemia,
ketoacidosis or infections of the infusion
site. Follow the treatment plan you agreed
on with your healthcare professional as well
as the setting for basal rate profiles and
bolus advice defined therein.
1.3.1 Reporting of serious
incidents
For a patient/user/third party in the
European Union and in countries with
identical regulatory regime; if, during the

1.4 General Safety
Information
wWARNING
ºThe micropump system may only be
used by a single person for insulin
therapy.
All objects which can come into contact
with human blood carry a potential risk
of infection. There is a risk of infections
being transmitted if the same
micropump system is used by other
people, even by family members, or if
healthcare professionals use the same
micropump system for insulin therapy
or blood glucose tests for different
people.
ºOnly use the micropump to deliver
rapid-acting U100 insulin.
ºUse sterile consumables (reservoir
assembly, cannula assembly &
pumpholder) only once and only if the
use by date has not expired and the
related sterile packaging is not
damaged.
ºUsed devices and consumables carry a
risk of infection. Dispose of used
system components according to local
regulations.
ºDo not change your therapy without
consulting your healthcare professional
first.
man_09284028001_C_en-UK_AUS.indb 11man_09284028001_C_en-UK_AUS.indb 11 18.05.2022 19:24:2418.05.2022 19:24:24

PURPOSE OF THE MICROPUMP SYSTEM
ºA new infusion site must be at least
5cm away from the last infusion site.
The repeated use of the same infusion
site to administer insulin may lead to
changes in the subcutaneous fatty
tissue. Insulin absorption may be
altered at sites where such changes
occur.
ºCheck the information on the Status
screen on your diabetes manager. For
example, if the micropump is in STOP
mode, no insulin will be delivered. This
can lead to hyperglycaemia.
ºCheck your glucose level at least four
times a day.
ºCheck your glucose level more than
four times a day if your insulin
sensitivity is high.
ºIf the micropump has been subjected to
mechanical shocks, check your glucose
level at least once within 1 to 3 hours.
ºKeep all parts of the micropump system
away from small children and
vulnerable persons. There is a risk of
suffocation if small parts are
swallowed.
ºKeep pointed or sharp-edged parts
away from small children and
vulnerable persons. There is a risk of
injury.
ºUse or store the micropump system
only within the permitted ambient
conditions. Otherwise, you risk
malfunctions of the micropump system,
incorrect glucose values (test results)
and over-delivery or under-delivery of
insulin.
ºDo not expose the micropump system
to extreme acceleration forces (for
example, roller coaster rides). This can
lead to hyperglycaemia or
hypoglycaemia.
ºDo not use the micropump system
close to strong electromagnetic fields
or ionising radiation. Strong
electromagnetic fields, for example,
from radar or antenna installations,
sources of high voltage or X-Ray,
magnetic resonance and computed
tomography could interfere with the
micropump system. Stop the
micropump and remove it from your
body before you enter areas with
electromagnetic or ionising radiation.
ºMaintain a distance of at least 30cm
between the micropump system and
portable HF communication devices.
Portable and mobile HF communication
devices may impair the micropump and
the diabetes manager.
ºNever attempt to repair or modify the
micropump system yourself. Otherwise,
you risk malfunctions of the micropump
system, incorrect glucose values and
over-delivery or under-delivery of
insulin.
ºDo not use the diabetes manager if the
screen is damaged or defective.
ºThe correct functioning of your
Accu-Chek Solo micropump system
can only be guaranteed if you use
accessories, including software and
apps available in your country,
designated for use with your
Accu-Chek Solo micropump system by
Roche.

wWARNING
ºCheck all components for visible
damage before using them with the
micropump system.
ºThe reservoir, cannula and pump holder
are intended for single use and are
sterile packaged. They must not be
used if their sterile packaging was
previously opened or damaged or if the
use by date has expired. If the sterile
packaging is damaged or already open,
the product can be unsterile and lead to
infection.
ºIf the infusion assembly may have
come into contact with infectious
material, replace the infusion assembly
immediately. There is a risk that
infections (for example, hepatitis or HIV)
could be transmitted.
ºIf there is an unexpected rise in your
glucose level or an occlusion message
occurs, check the micropump and the
infusion assembly for occlusions and
leaks. Replace your infusion assembly
if you are not sure whether the infusion
assembly is working properly.
ºCheck regularly to make sure that the
pump holder does not detach itself
from the infusion site and that the
adhesive pad is not wet. Insulin delivery
may be interrupted by a loose fitting or
displaced cannula.

PURPOSE OF THE MICROPUMP SYSTEM
1.6 Using the Micropump
System in Daily Life
The micropump system is intended to be
used continuously, every day in any
everyday situation. There are only a few
situations in which it is necessary to pay
special attention to the system or remove
the micropump in order to protect it. Use the
micropump system only if it is functioning
properly and does not show any signs of
damage. Always have alternative therapy
supplies at hand for your own safety.
NOTE
ºCheck at regular intervals whether the
micropump system has visible or
tangible signs of damage. This applies
in particular if the system components
were dropped or were exposed to
particular mechanical stress.
ºCheck the micropump system for
damages or leaks if you notice the
scent of insulin.
ºDo not use any consumables that are
damaged or were dropped.
Showering, bathing, swimming, diving
Protect the diabetes manager from moisture
and water. The micropump is splashproof,
but it must not be immersed in liquids.
Therefore, remove the micropump from the
pump holder before taking a shower or
bath, diving or going for a swim.
Exercise
You can wear the micropump during a
variety of physical activities. Do not wear
the pump for sports that involve frequent,
high-impact bodily contact, such as martial
arts, football or hockey. The micropump
could suffer damage by being hit or kicked
or if it is hit by a ball.
Sleeping
Place the diabetes manager within reach so
that you can hear reminders and system
messages. We recommend that you
recharge the diabetes manager when you
go to bed.
Temperature
Do not expose the micropump to direct
sunlight, UV radiation or heat. The operating
temperature of the micropump is between
+5 °C and +40 °C. At temperatures outside
this range, the insulin contained in the
reservoir could be rendered ineffective.
There may also be damage to the
micropump system.
NOTE
Protect the micropump and consumables
from sunlight and heat. If the micropump
has been exposed to sunlight or heat,
check your blood glucose.
Air pressure and altitude
Rapid and significant changes in air
pressure or temperature can influence
insulin delivery, especially if there are air
bubbles in the reservoir. Such changes may
occur, for example, when you are on an
aeroplane (especially during take-off and
landing) or if you engage in a sport such as
hang-gliding.
In such cases, do the following: Remove any
air bubbles from the reservoir and test your
blood glucose at frequent intervals. If in

PURPOSE OF THE MICROPUMP SYSTEM
doubt, remove the micropump and change
to an alternative therapy method.
Do not use the micropump system at an air
pressure below 70 kPa. This corresponds to
an altitude of up to 3,000 metres above sea
level. Do not use the supplied charger in
altitudes above 2,000 metres above sea
level.
Travelling and flights
Before travelling, ask your healthcare
professional about any special preparations
you need to make. Take sufficient supplies
with you for blood glucose testing and for
your insulin pump therapy.
Some airlines and governments do not
permit the use of wireless radio devices
during flight. In these situations you can
activate aeroplane mode. Aeroplane mode
enables the micropump system to comply
with these regulations.
Communication between micropump and
diabetes manager
For wireless communication between the
micropump and the diabetes manager, it is
not necessary for the devices to be right
next to each other. Obstacles, such as walls
or furniture, between the pump and the
diabetes manager can reduce or interrupt
the communication range.

GETTING TO KNOW THE MICROPUMP SYSTEM
2 Getting to Know the
Micropump System
2.1 Diabetes Manager
Overview
The Accu-Chek Guide Solo diabetes
manager is a remote control with an
integrated blood glucose meter that is used
to control the micropump. The diabetes
manager supports you in your diabetes
treatment and is only suitable for self-
testing.
NOTE
ºAlways have the diabetes manager with
you.
ºA rechargeable battery supplies power
to the diabetes manager. Charge the
battery on a regular basis.
ºIf the environment you are in has a high
noise level, or if the diabetes manager
is in a bag, you may not hear the
system messages. Set the sound mode
to a setting that is loud enough, and
pay attention to the screens and signals
on the diabetes manager to make sure
that the micropump system is
functioning properly.
2.2 Status Screen
On the Status screen, you can see the most
important, current and most common
therapy information on glucose value, basal
rate, ongoing boluses and reservoir level at
a glance. You can access other information
and menus from the Status screen.
Depending on the situation (for example,
whether you are using pump therapy or
injection therapy), other content and
symbols are displayed.
