Fill volume: 550ml.Flow rate: 8ml basal, 5ml bolus.Procedure: total knee replacement, adductor canal nerve block.Cathplace: mid-thigh.Infusion start time: (b)(6) 2021 approximately mid day.Infusion stop time: (b)(6) 2021.It was reported that the bolus button quit functioning.The bolus button was not engaging down and reservoir was not refilling on the pain pump attached to the patient.The patient was 24 hours post connection with the pump and it visually appeared to have been deflating, however, as the nursing staff described the bolus button would not engage down and the orange indicator showed the 5ml bolus reservoir was empty.The nurse disconnected the pump and the local anesthetic was dripping out the end which suggested that the patient was still receiving the background basal rate (which was set at 8ml/hr).Sales rep was present when the pump was initially connected to the patient in the recovery room and had witnessed that at least for the first few administrations that the bolus button was working correctly at one time.No patient harm was reported.
