The reporter contacted animas on (b)(6) 2018 alleging the patient experienced hyperglycemia while on insulin pump therapy evidenced by blood glucose measuring 507 mg/dl.The patient reportedly did not have a backup plan for insulin delivery.Animas customer support advised the patient to contact their health care provider to obtain a backup plan for treatment of the hyperglycemia.The reporter alleged that the pump had been without power all day on (b)(6) 2018; the display screen was blank and after rebooting the pump with a new battery, there was no power to the pump all day.The reporter denied damage to the pump or the battery cap and denied moisture in the pump.The reporter confirmed that the battery cap could be secured to the pump per the instructions for use.The reporter confirmed the correct battery type was being used in the pump and the power issue occurred immediately after the battery was changed.This complaint is being reported because the patient reportedly experienced serious injury while on insulin pump therapy associated with an issue of no power to the pump.
