This report is associated with 1819470-2017-00122 and 1819470-2017-00123 since there is more than one device implicated.
No further follow-up is planned.
Evaluation summary: a male patient reported that the injection button of his humapen (unspecified device) was difficult to push after two years of use.
He experienced blood glucose fluctuations.
The device was not returned to the manufacturer for investigation (batch unknown).
Therefore, it could not be evaluated to confirm the complaint or presence of a malfunction.
Malfunction unknown.
All humapen devices are assessed for injection screw travel at the end of the manufacturing process, thus ensuring dose accuracy and device functionality with a high probability.
There is no evidence of improper use or storage.
