Event Description
|
Information was received from a healthcare provider (hcp) regarding a patient receiving heparin via an implanted pump.The indication for pump use was cancer chemotherapy.It was reported that the patient had an mri yesterday and got their pump interrogated today.The pump logs confirmed a motor stall logged, but the logs were not showing the motor stall recovery message.Re-interrogating the pump was discussed.Per the nurse, the patient was in the icu (intensive care unit) yesterday, so they were not informed of the patient¿s mri.The nurse was wondering when the physician should be notified if the motor stall did not recover.
