    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    FOLLOW-UP #1 DATE OF SUBMISSION (B)(4) 2013-DEVICE EVALUATION: THE PUMP HAS BEEN RETURNED AND EVALUATED BY PRODUCT ANALYSIS ON (B)(4) 2013 WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS: INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE KEYPAD WAS TORN AROUND THE DOWN ARROW BUTTON UP TO THE UP ARROW BUTTON, EXPOSING THE BUTTON CONTACTS. A DAMAGED KEYPAD WILL PERMIT CONTAMINATION TO PERMEATE THE BUTTONS WHICH WILL HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON BUTTON FUNCTION. THIS SITUATION IS NOT LIKELY TO RESULT IN AN ADVERSE EVENT AS THE DAMAGED KEYPAD SHOULD BE CLEARLY VISIBLE AND WARNS THE PATIENT TO DISCONTINUE USING THE PUMP. THE OWNER¿S BOOKLET INSTRUCTS THE USER TO CALL ANIMAS CUSTOMER SERVICE IF THE USER SUSPECTS THAT THE PRODUCT IS DAMAGED. EVALUATION REVEALED THAT ALL KEYPAD BUTTONS ARE INTERMITTENTLY RESPONSIVE. THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF KEYPAD CONTAMINATION FOUND UNDER ALL KEY CONTACTS. ANIMAS HAS CONDUCTED A REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD FOR THIS PUMP AND CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS OPERATING WITHIN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS AT THE TIME OF RELEASE.
