Manufacturer Narrative

Narrative field: new, updated and corrected information is referenced within the update statements in describe event or problem.Please refer to update statement dated (b)(6) 2017 in describe event or problem.No further follow-up is planned.Evaluation summary: a male patient reported that the pen body of his humapen ergo ii device was cracked.The patient experienced increased blood glucose.The investigation of the returned device (batch 0912d02, manufactured december 2009) found that the device met functional requirements and met dose accuracy and glide force specifications.No malfunction was identified.The investigation also found the pen housing and bezel were cracked, and the soft touch was partially detached from the device.The soft touch damage is consistent with the device having been exposed to an unknown chemical while in the field.This damage did not affect the functionality of the device.The user manual describes the proper care and storage of the device and states "do not use alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, bleach, cover in liquid or apply lubrication such as oil, as this could damage the pen." in addition, the user manual instructs the patient to not use the device if it appears broken or damaged and to contact lilly or their healthcare provider for a replacement pen.Although the duration of use was not specifically provided by the patient, since the device was manufactured december 2009, it is likely the patient used it beyond its approved use life.The user manual states the humapen ergo ii has been designed to be used for up to 3 years after first use.There is evidence of improper use or storage.The soft touch was damaged due to exposure to an unknown chemical while in the field (not related to the manufacturing process).Since the soft touch does not affect functionality of the device, this is likely not relevant to the increased blood glucose.Additionally, the patient likely used the device beyond its approved use life.Since the device functioned normally and met dose accuracy and glide (injection) force specifications, this is likely not relevant to the event of abnormal blood glucose.
