Narrative field; new updated and corrected information is referenced within the update statements in describe event or problem.No further follow up is planned.Evaluation summary a consumer reported on behalf of a female patient that the injection screw of her humapen ergo ii device was not working.The patient experienced increased blood glucose levels.The device was not returned to the manufacturer for investigation (batch number 1206d02, manufactured june 2012).Therefore, it could not be evaluated to confirm the complaint or presence of a malfunction.Malfunction unknown.A complaint history review of this batch did not identify any atypical findings with regard to device not working or not accurate.All humapen ergo ii devices are assessed for injection screw travel at the end of the manufacturing process, thus ensuring device functionality and dose accuracy with high probability there is no evidence of improper use or storage.
