Event Description

On (b)(6) 2016, the reporter contacted animas, alleging a casing/condition (case damage with moisture) issue. It was alleged that the battery compartment was damaged and there was moisture in the pump. There was no indication that the product caused or contributed to an adverse event. This complaint is being reported because the alleged malfunction has the ability to result in a delay in treatment or long term cessation in delivery if the damage impacts the power circuit or cartridge compartment.
