Event or Problem Description

As reported by the user facility: reason of complaint: we are currently using easypump elastomeric infusion pump ii lt 270-54-s.(product number 4540018-02; lot number 25b01ge561) to administer fluorouracil infusions for an oncology patient.The patient has reported that his fluorouracil infusions have completed significantly earlier than expected on multiple occasions, with the bulb emptying approximately 12-17 hours ahead of the scheduled completion time.I spoke directly with the patient regarding potential factors that could affect the infusion rate.He reports that he does not expose the device to extreme temperatures, does not lie on or compress the bulb, and generally handles the device with great care.Based on our discussion, there do not appear to be any obvious issues related to device handling or storage.
