note = "Results. In 153 patient-years, 77 pumps were placed. The mean pump life was 29 ± 2 months. Morbidity was limited to pump site infections (3.9\%) and one small bowel obstruction. Inadvertent insulin overdelivery has never occurred. Episodes of insulin underdelivery were caused by backflow anomalies (n = 67), which were cleared by percutaneous rinses, or catheter obstructions (n = 12), which required catheter replacements.",
