  • Cause
    This letter is a follow up to the june2013 communication (refer to the attached copy of that letter for a full description of the issue and potential risks) regarding the synchromed ii priming bolus function and to inform you that medtronic is updating the model 8870 software application card (to version bbu01) as well as the synchromed® infusion system labeling to address the issue. 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. the updated 8870 software card mitigates the potential for clinically relevant effects of over-delivery of unintended drug, such as respiratory depression, loss of consciousness, or death, during the full system priming bolus procedure. the therapy applications on the software card for deep brain stimulation and spinal cord stimulation remain unchanged. .
