Event Description
|
It was reported that during a continuous infusion of fentanyl 50 mcg/ml with a spectrum iq pump, the patient became increasingly agitated and looked uncomfortable even though the pump was cleared and showed the volume of medication had been infused.The nurse checked the pump, and it ¿showed pump running¿ and the infusion was ¿on¿.The intravenous (iv) line was checked; however, there was no flow observed in the tubing.According to the reporter, the tubing line was re-primed, reinserted into the spectrum pump and "run" was pressed.The pump continued to show the infusion was in progress.There were no occlusions and no drops coming out of the iv tubing.The spectrum pump was changed, and the infusion therapy was resumed.The patient's condition and agitation "improved".No additional information is available.

Manufacturer Narrative

The device was not received for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be completed.A service history review was performed and revealed that the device has no previous service events; therefore, servicing did not cause or contribute to the reported event.It cannot be determined if a device or user issue contributed to the reported event, however there is currently an open field action (fa-2021-056) associated with reinforcing proper iv line setup and undetected or delayed detection of upstream occlusions, which can lead to under-infusions, for spectrum pumps.Should additional relevant information become available, a supplemental report will be submitted.
