Physician contacted technical solutions about a patient that presented to the emergency room with signs of an overdose: pinpoint eyes, loss of coordination, and more.Technical solutions walked the physician through a drain of the reservoir which would effectively turn the pump off.Technical solutions referred the emergency room physician to the patient's managing physician.Reporting physician stated that the patient is still being evaluated, but they believed that a change in the patient's dosing regimen is what led to the patient symptoms.Additional communication with nurse from the managing physician's office confirmed that the patient's pump was emptied and filled with saline.The cause of the patient's overdose symptoms is unknown.The patient's dosage had not been recently changed as the last change was a year ago.The patient was scheduled for a pump refill two and a half weeks ago, but cancelled their appointment.Physician's assistant from hospital also communicated to the office that patient wishes to have pump removed.No further information was received.
