Reason
Medtronic is updating the Model 8870 software application card (to version BBUO1) as well as the SynchroMed Infusion System labeling to address the unintended delivery of drug during the priming bolus function. 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.
This recall affects all 8870 software application cards, which are used in the 8840 N'Vision Clinical Programmers. The 8870 software application card is listed under multiple licence numbers which pertain to specific sets of devices that work together.
