Event Description
|
The customer reported via phone call that the keypad on his insulin pump was sticking, and when he tried to program a basal rate of 1.4 his menu scrolled all the way up to 30; this has happened several times.The patient's blood glucose at the time of incident is unknown.The customer did not recall any significant events leading to the keypad issues.The customer also mentioned that the insulin pump was over-delivering for the past two nights, and he has been waking up in the morning with blood glucose values in the 30 mg/dl range.The customer stated that the batteries deplete quickly and that the insulin pump buzzes on its own.Troubleshooting was initiated for the delivery anomaly and the basal rate profile appeared to be accurate.A displacement test was performed and the device passed.The customer was advised that the insulin pump was operating as designed, although the customer disagrees with that assessment.The insulin pump will be returned for analysis.
