    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    ON (B)(6) 2016, THE REPORTER CONTACTED ANIMAS, ALLEGING A PRIME (LOSS OF PRIME) ISSUE. IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE PUMP REPEATEDLY EMITTED LOSS OF PRIME WARNINGS WHILE THE SAME CARTRIDGE WAS IN USE. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE DEVICE CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO AN ADVERSE EVENT. THIS COMPLAINT IS BEING REPORTED BECAUSE THE ISSUE MAY RESULT IN A LONG TERM CESSATION OF INSULIN DELIVERY IF THE USER IS UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ALARM.
