Manufacturer Narrative

Evaluation summary down.The patient experienced abnormal blood glucose levels.The device was not returned for investigation (batch (b)(4), manufactured october 2010).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 device not working or dose accuracy.All humapen ergo ii devices are assessed for injection screw travel at the end of the manufacturing process, which ensures dose accuracy with high probability.The patient stated he used his ergo ii device for approximately six years (approximately 5.5 years based on manufacture date).The user manual states the humapen ergo ii device has been designed to be used for up to 3 years, after first use.There is evidence of improper use.The patient used the device beyond its approved use life.This may be relevant to the patient's complaint, but it is unknown if this is relevant to the abnormal blood glucose levels.
