Event or Problem Description
|
|
The reporter contacted animas on (b)(6) 2016 alleging the patient experienced hypoglycemia while on insulin pump therapy with blood glucose measuring 40 mg/dl with associated symptoms of confusion, difficulty speaking, diaphoresis, and shakiness.The patient reportedly did not require assistance from a third party and did not receive any treatment above or beyond the usual routine of diabetes care and management.The reporter alleged an inaccurate delivery issue with the pump.The reporter stated they believe the pump was either bolusing the patient on its own or the pump was randomly giving the patient insulin.Troubleshooting performed by animas customer technical support examined the total daily dose and the bolus history as well as the prime history and did not reveal any evidence indicating that the pump randomly infused the patient with insulin that it was not programmed to give.It was discovered that the basal rate setting in the pump had been adjusted.This complaint is being reported because the patient experienced a serious injury on insulin pump therapy associated with use error.Not pump malfunction was identified through troubleshooting.
