Device evaluation: the device has been returned and evaluated by product analysis on 10-jan-2019 with the following findings: a visual inspection of the pump revealed the battery compartment was cracked from the threads to the case seal.There was moisture damage observed in the battery compartment.The returned battery cap was stripped and was unable to secure tightly to power on the pump, duplicating the power issue.A leak test was performed revealing a battery compartment leak.A test battery cap was able to secure enough and power up the pump.The pump was exercised for 12 hours using the test cap with no power interruptions occurring.Animas has conducted a review of the device history record for this pump and confirmed that it was operating within required specifications at the time of release.
