  • Cause
    The synchromed priming bolus function is intended to quickly advance drug from the pump reservoir to the catheter tip to allow for therapy initiation while the patient remains under medical supervision. although drug is not intended to be delivered to the cerebrospinal fluid (csf) during the priming bolus, mixing of the drug and non-drug (sterile water/csf) fluids occurs at the high infusion rates used during a priming bolus. mixing results in the unintended delivery of drug prior to the end of the programmed bolus, as well as dilution of some of the drug remaining in the catheter at the end of the bolus. patients will receive unintended drug at a high rate of infusion in the csf during the priming bolus, and a period of reduced concentration of drug will occur following the priming bolus. .
