Event Description

Information was received from a healthcare provider (hcp) via a device manufacturer representative regarding a patient who was receiving prialt (10 mcg/ml at 3.396 mcg/day) via an implantable infusion pump for non-malignant pain.It was reported that the issue was a flipped pump in the pocket and the sutures had become dislodged.The event date was asked but unknown.The patient did not experience any symptoms.However, the hcp's nurse who filled the pump was experiencing difficulty in accessing the pump as well as interrogating the pump.There were no known environmental/external/patient factors that may have led or contributed to the issue.Diagnostics and troubleshooting included manual manipulation of the pump during refills to access the refill port as well as to interrogate the pump.Surgical intervention occurred on (b)(6) 2018 to return the pump to normal orientation.The pump was then anchored down in four designated suture loops.The issue was resolved at the time of the report.The patient's status at the time of the report was alive - no injury.No further complications were reported.
