    Narratives

    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    THE COMPLAINT CANNOT BE VERIFIED DUE TO MISHANDLING OF THE PRODUCT. E8 ERRORS WERE FOUND IN THE HISTORY. THE SOFT COMPONENTS OF THE HOUSING ARE WORN DOWN HEAVILY AND RESTRICTED HANDLING OF THE PUMP IS A POSSIBLE IMPLICATION. THEREFORE, MOISTURE ENTERED THE INSULIN PUMP AND DESTROYED THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE BUTTONS AND THE PUMP ELECTRONICS. THE UP BUTTON IS PERMANENTLY ACTIVE DUE TO EXTERNAL MECHANICAL DAMAGE. AS A RESULT OF THE DEFECTIVE BUTTON, THE PUMP CORRECTLY TRIGGERED AN UNCLEARABLE E8 ERROR MESSAGE.
