Pump Problems

Pumps generally behave themselves, but like other mechanical devices they can misbehave. Mechanical problems cannot be solved by giving more bolus insulin. Assuming they can may easily lead to an unnecessary hospital bill. It's critical to recognize when the pump, infusion set, reservoir, or insulin is the source of high blood sugars. Below are some of the problems pumpers have encountered and how to deal with them:

O-Ring Leaks | Tunneling | Bubbles | Hub Leaks | Sweating | Bleeding | Infections | Clogs

Any serious pump or infusion set problem or defect should be reported to the FDA Medical Devices Section.
