    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    ON (B)(6) 2014, THE REPORTER CONTACTED ANIMAS, ALLEGING A PRIME (LOSS OF PRIME) ISSUE. REPORTEDLY, THE PUMP EMITTED LOSS OF PRIME ALERTS. THE REPORTER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO SUDDEN CHANGE IN FORCE OR TEMPERATURE AND THE CARTRIDGE CAP WAS SECURED. REVIEW OF CARTRIDGE USAGE TECHNIQUES INDICATED THAT THE INSTRUCTION FOR USE WAS FOLLOWED. THE REPORTER WAS INSTRUCTED TO CHANGE OUT THE CARTRIDGE AND WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE PRIMING WITHOUT RECEIVING THE NO PRIME ALERT AGAIN. THIS COMPLAINT IS BEING REPORTED BECAUSE THE REPORTED ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE PRODUCT CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO AN ADVERSE EVENT.
