    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    ON (B)(6), 2011, THE REPORTER CONTACTED ANIMAS ON BEHALF OF HER SON (THE PT) ALLEGING A LEAKING CARTRIDGE ISSUE. THE REPORTER CLAIMED THAT DURING THE TIME OF CONCERN, THE PT DEVELOPED BLOOD GLUCOSE (BG) LEVELS IN BETWEEN "100-300 MG/DL". THE REPORTER INDICATED THAT SHE DID NOT SEE OR SMELL ANY INSULIN LEAKING. HOWEVER, THE REPORTER WAS WONDERING IF THE CARTRIDGES MIGHT HAVE BEEN LEAKING. BASED ON THE INFO PROVIDED, THIS COMPLAINT IS BEING REPORTED DUE TO THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSION: THE REPORTER CLAIMED THAT THE PT MIGHT HAVE HAD A LEAKING CARTRIDGE ISSUE. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE HOWEVER THAT THE ALLEGED ISSUE CONTRIBUTED TO A SERIOUS INJURY. THE PT DID NOT HAVE ANY BG READINGS OR SYMPTOMS THAT MEET ANIMAS' CRITERIA FOR A SERIOUS INJURY.
