In most cases your NHS Trust or Local Health Authority has authorised Roche to supply only selected consumables and quantities. If other goods are requested to be supplied this would first need to be authorised by your NHS Trust or Local Health Authority.

Please note: If you pay for your own pump consumables, or would like to order on behalf of someone else please contact Accu-Chek Customer Care.

Customers from the Republic of Ireland should obtain their pump consumables by prescription from their local chemist.

Here you can find information on how to recycle the different packaging components of Accu-Chek infusion sets and consumables for insulin pumps. 

Please watch the video on this page and refer to the Accu-Chek TenderLink quick reference guide for the steps required to insert the Accu-Chek TenderLink infusion set.

Because Accu-Chek insulin pumps can be disconnected at the infusion site you can remove the pump temporarily (for up to an hour) to bathe, go swimming or take part in contact sports.

Always remember to check your blood glucose and correct as needed before disconnecting your insulin pump and again when you reconnect. If you are intending to be disconnected from your pump for longer than an hour, you should check your blood glucose regularly throughout the time you are disconnected, reconnecting and correcting as necessary.

You should discuss your personal requirements for disconnecting from your insulin pump with your healthcare professional before going ahead.

Bubbles naturally occur in all liquids, including insulin, when they undergo a fairly rapid temperature change, i.e. warm to cool.

To help to prevent bubbles, remove insulin from the fridge at least an hour before use. If you are self-filling cartridges, make sure to fill the cartridge with room-temperature insulin and draw it from the vial slowly and steadily.

You should regularly check your cartridge and tubing for bubbles and prime out any that you find. Always remember to disconnect from your insulin pump before priming.
