Event Description
|
Information was received from a healthcare professional (hcp) via the manufacturer representative (rep) regarding a patient who was receiving baclofen, 2000 mcg concentration at 700.4 mcg dose via intrathecal drug delivery pump for unknown indication of use.It was reported that at a pump replacement case this morning the 8709 catheter was unable to be aspirated and was found to be at l1.The hcp believed this to not be effective therapy for the patient and replaced the 8709 catheter with a new 8780 catheter.The hcp connected the new 8780 catheter to the new 8637-40 pump.The new catheter was found to be good cerebrospinal flow (csf) and was able to be aspirated.It was unknown if anything contributed to the catheter placement of 8709.The hcp believed that the patient was not receiving effective drug therapy due to catheter placement.The hcp used fluoroscopy to determine the placement of the 8709 catheter.After the new catheter was placed at t7 csf flow was seen.At the time of this report, the issue was resolved and the patient status was alive- no injury.No further complications were reported.
