Patient reports an emergency room visit where she had to be admitted for 24 hours due to heart failure.Patient stated that one of her remodulin vials(patient discarded vial) had a bad stopper and the medication would leak out as she would fill her syringe.Patient feels as though the medication lost its potency due to the bad stopper so she wasn't getting her full dose.When patient mixed a cassette using new vial of remodulin patient was unable to tolerate the medication and had to reduce her dose.Patient was then unable to increase back to her previous dose due to diarrhea.Patient had md appointment today.Patient thinks the md would like her to be able to increase to previous dose but she can't due to diarrhea.Patient reports pump sn (b)(4) alarms frequently so she has only been using one pump, author advised we would set up order for replacement pump for early am delivery.No additional information.Reported to (b)(6) by pt/caregiver.
