    THE DEVICE WAS NOT RETURNED FOR EVALUATION. WE ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF ANY PRODUCT CONDITION COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE REPORTED HOSPITALIZATION FOR DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS AND DEATH. NO LOT RELEASE RECORDS WERE REVIEWED, AS THE PRODUCT LOT NUMBER WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE OMNIPOD¿S USER GUIDE WARNS TO "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 ABOVE 250 MG/DL, FOLLOW THE TREATMENT ADVICE OF YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER," AND "IF LEFT UNTREATED, DKA CAN CAUSE BREATHING DIFFICULTIES, SHOCK, COMA, AND EVENTUALLY DEATH." IT ADVISES ¿THE EASIEST AND MOST RELIABLE WAY TO AVOID DKA IS BY CHECKING YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE AT LEAST 4¿6 TIMES A DAY. ROUTINE CHECKS ALLOW YOU TO IDENTIFY AND TREAT HIGH BLOOD GLUCOSE BEFORE DKA DEVELOPS."
