    THE DEVICE WAS NOT RETURNED FOR EVAL. WE ARE UNABLE TO CONFIRM THE REPORTED MALFUNCTION OR TO DETERMINE IF IT COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE REPORTED HYPERGLYCEMIA. LOT QUALIFICATION RECORDS WERE REVIEWED, AND THE PRODUCT LOT MET ALL ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA. THE OMNIPOD USER'S GUIDE WARNS "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 PRESENT, FOLLOW YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER'S GUIDELINES. IF KETONES ARE NOT PRESENT, TAKE A CORRECTION BOLUS AS PRESCRIBED BY YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER. CHECK BLOOD GLUCOSE AGAIN AFTER 2 HRS. IF BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS HAVE NOT DECREASED, TAKE A SECOND BOLUS BY INJECTION, USING A STERILE SYRINGE. IF YOU FEEL NAUSEATED AT ANY POINT, CHECK FOR KETONES AND CALL YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER IMMEDIATELY. IF BLOOD GLUCOSE REMAINS HIGH AFTER ANOTHER 2 HRS (A TOTAL OF 4 HRS), REPLACE THE POD.
