Insulin Pump-Associated Adverse Events in a Brazilian Reference Center for the Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus: Proposal for a Taxonomy of Device Failures in Adults, Adolescents, and Children.

The study describes in a taxonomic format the AEs directly associated with the use of modern CSIIs that may contribute with additional information to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Medical Device Report (MDR) adverse event codes. In addition to guiding educational actions in the treatment of DM and providing information for health professionals and medical device developers, prospective studies examining the frequency of such problems, including the potential psychosocial impact of this technologically advanced therapy, are needed.
