    THE DEVICE WAS NOT RETURNED FOR EVAL. WE ARE UNABLE TO CONFIRM THE REPORTED MALFUNCTION OR TO DETERMINE IF IT COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO REPORTED HYPERGLYCEMIA. QUALIFICATION RECORDS WERE REVIEWED AND THE PRODUCT LOT MET ALL ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA. THE OMNIPOD USER GUIDE WARNS "CHECK THE INFUSION SITE AFTER INSERTION TO ENSURE THAT THE CANNULA WAS PROPERLY INSERTED. IT IS ALSO A GOOD IDEA TO CHECK YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE ABOUT TWO HOURS AFTER EACH POD CHANGE AND TO CHECK THE INFUSION SITE PERIODICALLY," AND "TEST RESULTS GREATER THAN 250 MG/DL MEAN HIGH BLOOD GLUCOSE (HYPERGLYCEMIA). IF YOU GET RESULTS ABOVE 250 MG/DL, BUT DO NOT HAVE SYMPTOMS OF HYPERGLYCEMIA, REPEAT THE TEST. IF YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS OR CONTINUE TO GET RESULTS THAT FALL ABOVE 250 MG/DL, FOLLOW THE TREATMENT ADVICE OF YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER". IT ADVISES "IF YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE IS 250 MG/DL OR ABOVE, CHECK FOR KETONES. IF KETONES ARE NOT PRESENT, TAKE A CORRECTION BOLUS AS PRESCRIBED BY YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER. CHECK BLOOD GLUCOSE AGAIN AFTER 2 HOURS. IF BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS HAVE NOT DECREASED, TAKE A SECOND BOLUS BY INJECTION, USING A STERILE SYRINGE. IF BLOOD GLUCOSE REMAINS HIGH AFTER ANOTHER 2 HOURS (A TOTAL OF 4 HOURS), REPLACE THE POD."
