Patient connected to cadd legacy plus pump to infuse 5fu over 46 hours.Does unhook from pump at home and when is scheduled for next cycle, brings pump back into office with empty 5fu bag and port needle/dressing.Approximately 3 weeks later, the patient and wife stated that the pump began beeping around 8 am on the day it was to complete.The expected time of completion was around noon.They stated that there were messages ("a, 0, 1") that made no sense to them.They noticed that the infusion was complete so they did not call for assistance with the pump but rather just turned it off and disconnected it from patient.While the dates do not match up, this is how the event is reported.I believe this was the next scheduled dose.The pump was returned to the rental company.
