Manufacturer Narrative

Narrative field - new, updated and corrected information is referenced within the update statements.Please refer to update statement dated (b)(6) 2016 in the field.No further follow up is planned.Evaluation summary: a female patient reported that the injection button on her humapen luxura device could not be pressed down.The patient experienced abnormal blood glucose.The investigation of the returned device (batch (b)(4), manufactured december 2011) found the device met dose accuracy specifications, but did not meet glide (injection) force specifications.Malfunction confirmed.Examination of the device found an oily foreign material on multiple internal parts of the device.The foreign material observed caused mechanical difficulties with the device, inhibiting proper movement of the injection screw when dosing.There are several inspection points throughout the manufacturing process which would have rejected the components if observed to have been contaminated by the foreign material.Therefore, the observed foreign material was introduced while in the field and not during the manufacturing of the device.The user manual states, "do not use alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, bleach, cover in liquid or apply lubrication such as oil, as this could damage the pen." there is evidence of improper use.The device was contaminated with foreign material while in the field (not related to the manufacturing process).This may be relevant to the complaint of abnormal blood glucose.
