B.5.Narrative field: new, updated and corrected information is referenced within the update statements in b.5.Please refer to update statement dated 13sep2019 in the b.5.Field.No further follow-up is planned.Evaluation summary: a female patient reported that while using a humapen ergo ii device, she had diabetic complications in (b)(6) 2019.Subsequently, she began using a non-lilly insulin in the ergo ii device, and reported the injection button "sometimes was pushed down to the end directly" and sometimes "was pushed down to half dose directly, then it was pushed normally." the patient felt the injection button slipped rather than was pushed down.The patient experienced abnormal blood glucose.The device was not returned to the manufacturer for investigation (1112d01, manufactured december 2011).Therefore, it could not be evaluated to confirm the complaint or presence of a malfunction.Malfunction unknown.A complaint history review did not identify any atypical findings with regard to dose accuracy or uneven injection force issues.All humapen ergo ii devices are assessed for injection screw travel at the end of the manufacturing process, thus ensuring device functionality with high probability.The patient reportedly used the device for five or six years.The core instructions for use state the humapen ergo ii has been designed to be used for up to 3 years after first use.Regarding using another manufacturer's insulin, the core instructions for use states humapen ergo ii is "for use only with lilly 3 ml insulin cartridges (100 iu/ml or units/ml).Do not use other brands of insulin cartridges." there is evidence of improper use.The patient used the device beyond the recommended use period.It is unknown if this misuse is relevant to the event of abnormal blood glucose.The patient used non-lilly insulin cartridge in the device.This misuse may be relevant to the complaint but it is unknown if this is relevant to the event of abnormal blood glucose.
