Medtronic Neuromodulation has recalled one SynchroMed II Infusion Pump (Product Number 8637-20) with serial number NGP004814H. The device was recalled because internal data corruption in the pump memory can cause system errors and make it impossible for medical providers to read or adjust the pump's settings using an interrogation device. This single unit was distributed specifically in the state of Mississippi.
If the pump memory becomes corrupted, it may fail to communicate with the doctor's programmer or provide inaccurate information about the pump's status. This could result in a delay or loss of therapy, which for an implanted infusion pump can lead to the return of underlying symptoms or serious health complications from medication withdrawal.
