People that can't say sorry.
I had my old pump aacuchek combo for 3years 8 months before it gave me electronic messages and was exchanged.
Significantly though I was getting a huge air bubble in the old pump everytime I loaded a new cartridge. In the new pump I'm not. I haven't changed the way I do anything at all.
The pumps are fantastic. Lets face it what other bit of equipment with such small amounts of fluid could keep running for 4 years, no servicing and doesnt go wrong. Even petrol pumps on forecourts have to be calibrated and checked every year....
I think my old pump was wearing out somehow to give me this huge airbubble everytime for the past 3 months when I was putting a new cartridge in it.
Just loaded up my 3rd cartridge on new one and no big airbubble.
Accuchek were brilliant gor exchaning my pump and then the handset. Just think all pumps are such a fantadtic bit of equipment to keep going 24/7/365 without needing a service. Even mine playing up at 3 years 8 months was treated by the manufacturer absolutely fantastically. They ate a lot of money to NHS but Accuchek have such brilliant customer service.
