As reported by the user facility: pump was setup for a primary and secondary infusions.At approximately 1900, this rn noticed that there may have been a malfunction with braun pump.The iv pump was programmed to deliver piperacillin-tazobactam (zosyn) 3.375 gram in sodium chloride 0.9% (ns) 50 ml ivpb at 12.5 ml/hr and started at 17:53.At shift change approximately one hour later, this rn found the iv bag empty, which was inconsistent with the expected remaining volume.This suggested the pump may have infused the medication at a rate different from what was originally programmed and verified.The infusion was stopped, the charge rn was notified, and the pump and medication bag were removed from patient's room.
