    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    THE INVESTIGATION OF THE RETURNED POD FOUND EVIDENCE OF AN INTERNAL FLUID LEAK. DISCOLORATION WAS SEEN INSIDE THE DEVICE AND RESIDUAL FLUID WAS FOUND ON THE SURFACES OF INTERNAL ASSEMBLIES. A LEAK TEST WAS PERFORMED, WHICH CONFIRMED THE PRESENCE OF A LEAK IN THE FLUID PATH CAUSED BY A TEAR IN THE CANNULA TUBING. THE LEAK WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN INSULIN COMING INTO CONTACT WITH INTERNAL COMPONENTS AND ASSEMBLIES, ULTIMATELY CAUSING THE DEVICE TO FAIL. A POD MALFUNCTION, THEREFORE, IS CONFIRMED TO HAVE BEEN A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO THE CUSTOMER'S HIGH BG LEVELS.

    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    THE REPORT INDICATED THAT THE CUSTOMER'S BG LEVELS REMAINED CONSISTENTLY HIGH (500MG/DL OR GREATER) OVER A TWO HOUR PERIOD. HE HAD ADMINISTERED A MANUAL INSULIN INJECTION, WHICH WAS INEFFECTIVE AT LOWERING HIS BG'S. THE POD HAD INITIATED AN OCCLUSION ALARM AND WAS DEACTIVATED A HALF-HOUR LATER. THE POD WILL BE RETURNED FOR EVALUATION.
