    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    THE POD WILL NOT BE RETURNED TO THE MFR FOR EVAL. WE ARE UNABLE TO CONFIRM ANY PRODUCT MALFUNCTION. NO CONCLUSION CAN BE REACHED AT THIS TIME. THE CUSTOMER STATED THAT A KINK WAS SEEN IN THE CANNULA. THERE WAS, HOWEVER, NO REPORT OF AN OCCLUSION ALARM. THE POD WOULD HAVE INITIATED AN OCCLUSION ALARM IF THE FLOW OF INSULIN WAS RESTRICTED/PREVENTED BY THE KINK AND RESULTED IN BACK PRESSURE. THE OMNIPOD USER GUIDE INSTRUCTS THE USER TO "CHECK INFUSION SITE FREQUENTLY FOR PROPER CANNULA PLACEMENT". IT ALSO SUGGESTS THAT THE USER SHOULD CHECK THEIR BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS FREQUENTLY IN ORDER TO NOTICE AND REACT QUICKLY AND APPROPRIATELY TO ANY ISSUES. THE PT REMEDIED THE SITUATION BY REMOVING AND REPLACING THE DEVICE PER USER INSTRUCTIONS.

    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    THE CUSTOMER REPORTED THAT SHE HAD BEEN WEARING THE POD FOR NO LONGER THAN FOUR HOURS AND HER BG LEVELS HAD ESCALATED TO 360MG/DL. SHE THEREFORE FELT THAT THE "POD WAS NOT WORKING". SHE ALSO REPORTED THAT SHE HAD ADMINISTERED A BOLUS, BUT IT DID NOT BRING HER BG LEVELS DOWN. THERE WAS A KINK SEEN IN THE CANNULA, THOUGH THE POD DID NOT INITIATE AN ALARM. NO PRODUCT WILL BE RETURNED FOR EVAL.
