No further follow up is planned.Evaluation summary: a male patient reported the injection button on his humapen ergo ii could not be pushed down.He experienced hyperglycemia.The device was not returned to the manufacturer for investigation (batch 1203d01, manufactured march 2012).Therefore, it could not be evaluated to confirm the complaint or presence of a malfunction.Malfunction unknown.A complaint history review of the batch did not identify any atypical trends with regard to dose accuracy.All humapen ergo ii devices are assessed for injection screw travel at the end of the manufacturing process, thus ensuring dose accuracy and device functionality with a high probability.There is no evidence of improper use or storage.
