    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    DEVICE EVALUATION: NO PRODUCT WAS RETURNED. A RETAINED SAMPLE OF THE SAME CARTRIDGE LOT NUMBER D200389 WAS EVALUATED AND TESTED BY PRODUCT ANALYSIS WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS: A LOT REVIEW INVESTIGATION OF THE INCOMING CARTRIDGES PER LOT WAS COMPLETED PRIOR TO RELEASE OF THIS LOT AND ENSURED THAT ALL CARTRIDGES PASSED FOR THIS LOT. THE RETAINED CARTRIDGE SAMPLE WAS FOUND TO PASS THE VISUAL INSPECTION AND THE FILL, FORCE, AND LEAK TESTING. NO DEFECTS WERE FOUND. EACH CARTRIDGE LOT IS SUBJECTED TO A STATISTICAL SAMPLING PLAN AND MUST PASS TESTING FOR FORCE (OCCLUSION AND LOSS OF PRIME), CRACKS, AND FOREIGN MATERIAL PRIOR TO RELEASE FOR DISTRIBUTION.

    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    ON (B)(6) 2017, THE REPORTER CONTACTED ANIMAS, ALLEGING A SITE/SET/CART (AIR BUBBLES FILLING) ISSUE. IT WAS ALLEGED THAT THERE WERE AIR BUBBLES IN THE CARTRIDGE AND THE CARTRIDGE PLUNGER WAS NOT CYCLED. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE PRODUCT CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO AN ADVERSE EVENT. THIS COMPLAINT IS BEING REPORTED BECAUSE THE PRESENCE OF AIR BUBBLES IN THE CARTRIDGE CAN RESULT IN UNDER DELIVERY.
