  • Causa
    Provide important new information regarding overinfusion associated with the synchromed ii implantable pump.Overinfusion is defined as an infusion rate exceeding the programmed infusion rate by more than 14.5% as described in the labeling. when overinfusion occurs it will result in a volume discrepancy at pump refill where the volume withdrawn from the pump is less than the volume expected. overinfusion can result in a life-threatening overdose and can also result in drug withdrawal due to premature emptying of the pump. due to the low reported rate of occurrence of this issue and the inability to predict which pumps may be at risk medtronic is not recommending prophylactic replacement of pumps.
