It was reported that the patient experienced multiple occlusion alerts with inset 23" infusion sets connected to an ilet, occurring predominantly 1¿6 hours after site changes, often during the night and after meal announcements, with only 20¿40% of meal insulin delivered and proper priming steps and connections confirmed.Symptoms included hyperglycemia with continuous glucose monitor (cgm) high and blood glucose of 400 mg/dl, accompanied by thirst.Outcomes included interruption of insulin delivery requiring repeated supply and site changes, and continued alerts until replacement supplies from a different lot were used.Investigation included remote troubleshooting, a pump dry run confirming adequate pump motor performance, and user education on full supply changes and monitoring.Investigation of this case revealed no visible kinks, clogs, or blood in the cannula or tubing, drops seen during initial fill, correct connections, potential contribution from scar tissue at the upper buttocks site and pump worn below the site, and a lot-specific pattern reported by the user, indicating infusion set occlusion related to the infusion set and/or site rather than the pump.It was concluded, based on previously established findings for similar reports, that the cause was infusion set/site-related occlusion potentially exacerbated by tissue condition and resolved by changing to new supplies.
