“…Regarding causes of diabetes device retention, continuous glucose monitoring is becoming an important component of diabetes management and is now regarded by many as the standard-of-care for monitoring diabetes. 3 Components of CGMs have also been found to be retained in patients. In case 1, the patient noticed that a CGM sensor wire fragment broke off and was retained in his thigh during the process of changing the CGM.…”

Background: Diabetes management and treatment requires the use of many devices that frequently must puncture the skin, creating a risk of unintentional retention in the body as a retained diabetes device. In this article, we reviewed case studies about retained diabetes devices and presented analyses of the success rate of current imaging techniques in identifying retained devices and the success rate of device removal. Methods: PubMed and Google Scholar were searched for articles about retained diabetes devices. Relevant articles that included sufficient details about discovery and removal of the device were included. The success rate of identification and the success rate of removal of retained devices were both calculated as percentages. Results: Sixteen case studies of retained diabetes devices were identified. These devices included parts of continuous glucose monitors and infusion sets, a lancet, and various types of needles for insulin injection. Each case is presented with details about the year of publication, the retained diabetes device, the company that produced the device, the age and gender of the patient, the type of diabetes that the patient had, the location of the device, the reason for initial discovery of the retained device, the process of locating the device, the success rate for removal of the device, and the removal procedure of the device. Analysis revealed a 100% success rate for the use of imaging technology including X-rays and computed tomography to identify a retained diabetes device. The patients with retained diabetes devices had a 62.5% success rate for eventual removal of the device. Conclusions: With the increasing use of injected, inserted, and implanted diabetes wearables for digital health, it is likely that some of the devices will detach, break apart, or otherwise become retained in the body. It is important to be aware of available technologies to identify retained diabetes devices so that it will be possible in most cases to surgically remove these devices if they detach or become retained.
