This issue is not likely to cause an adverse event because the pump displays the verify screen after it is rebooted and the time and date must be set to confirm the verify screen.
The pump has not been returned to animas.
If the device is returned, an evaluation shall be completed and a supplemental report will be filed.
No conclusions can be made at this time.

On (b)(6) 2016 the reporter contacted animas alleging that the patient experienced elevated blood glucose (bg) of 428mg/dl with excess urination and extreme drowsiness associated with a time/date reset issue.
Reportedly, the patient did not receive any treatment above and beyond the usual routine of diabetes care and management and remained on the pump.
The reporter alleged that the time and date reset to default settings when the battery was out of the pump for less than 24 hours.
This complaint is being reported based on the allegation that the patient experienced hyperglycemia associated with a time/date reset issue, with use error as a contributing factor.

Follow-up #1: date of submission 08/15/2016 device evaluation: the device has been returned and evaluated by product analysis on 07/19/2016 with the following findings: a review of the pump history indicated that the pump was running on default settings from (b)(6) 2016.

A review of the total daily dose history indicated that insulin delivery totals correctly reflected programmed values.
The pump successfully completed a rewind, load, and prime sequence.
The pump was exercised for 24 hours with no issues occurring.
The pump passed delivery accuracy testing and was found to be delivering within required specifications.
Evaluation revealed the internal clock battery on the pcb had failed.

Unrelated to the original complaint, investigation revealed the following: the battery compartment was cracked in two places; the keypad cover was peeling at the ok keypad button, but all keypad buttons remained responsive.
Animas has conducted a review of the device history record for this pump and confirmed that it was operating within required specifications at the time of release.
