The device has not been returned/received to date.If the device is received, a supplemental report will be submitted with the investigation results.We are unable to confirm the bent cannula or to determine if it could have contributed to the reported hyperglycemia.Lot release records were reviewed and the product lot met all acceptance criteria.Specifically, a pod is paired to a pdm and put through simulated use testing including confirming the blue soft cannula is inspected for any damage.

The soft cannula was not observed to be bent/kinked.The download data did not show any timeouts or drive stalls during the run that would indicate a failure of the pod to deliver insulin.The exposed portion of the soft cannula was found to have a tear.Fluid was seen leaking from this tear.Although the cannula was damaged, the timing and cause of the damage is unknown.
