BETA BIONICS, INC. ILET BIONIC PANCREAS; ALTERNATE CONTROLLER ENABLED INSULIN INFUSION PUMP Back to Search Results
Model Number BB1002
Health Effect - Clinical Code Hypoglycemia (1912)
Date of Event 09/17/2023
Type of Reportable Event Serious Injury
Event or Problem Description
Soon after completing all required training online and with the certified pump trainer employed and assigned to me by beta bionics, inc., i started using this new ilet insulin pump, i experienced a series of major insulin overdoses which were delivered by pump using life-threatening dangerous and faulty algorithms.As an experienced insulin pump user, i knew these events were not normal, and actually nearly killed me by administering at least two, if not more, near fatal overdoses of insulin, for which i had no control over, until approximately 8-10 hours later when i just had to remove the device from my body altogether.During these sudden-onset overdoses, i needed to have assistance keeping me in a semi-conscious state so i could consume massive amounts of glucose tablets, several doses of odansetron (an anti-emetic), highly concentrated fruit juice, and two doses of glucagon (baqsimi).I surely would have died that day without my family member's rapid response and assistance.Even after blood glucose would briefly stabilize, i subsequently received more insulin bolus overdoses.I followed the training by beta bionics exactly and precisely to the letter and still nearly died.This pump is dangerous.
