BENEFITS OF THE SYNCHROMED II PUMP

• Flex dosing schedules allow drug delivery to be matched to patient needs, providing chronic pain relief throughout the day
• Precise dose titration enables clinicians to prescribe the lowest dose to reach patient goals

SAFETY

• Smart software guides the clinician through programming the system, via information and warning screens
• Full-body MRI compatibility at 1.5 and 3-Tesla under specific conditions*
• Critical alarms are triggered at end of service, if a motor stall is detected, critical pump memory error, tube set interval, or if an empty reservoir is estimated
• Noncritical alarm sounds for the elective replacement indicator, noncritical pump memory error, or a low reservoir is estimated

CONVENIENCE

• Critical therapy and patient data stored in the pump allow flexibility for follow-up at other institutions
• 180-day drug stability for Infumorph™
• Clinician programmer features a vibrant touchscreen display, visuals, and workflow guides
• The communicator is placed over the pump and is designed to wirelessly connect within 3 meters of the clinician programmer

HOW SYNCHROMED II WORKS

• The drug enters the pump through the reservoir fill port and passes through the reservoir valve and into the SynchroMed II pump reservoir. At normal body temperatures, pressurized gas that is stored below the reservoir expands, exerting constant pressure on the reservoir. This pressure advances the drug into the SynchroMed II pump tubing.
• The peristaltic action of the SynchroMed II pump moves the drug from the pump reservoir, through the pump tubing, check valve, catheter port, and implanted catheter, to the infusion site.
• The catheter access port (CAP) allows injection of the drug directly into the implanted catheter for drug administration and diagnostic purposes. Drug injected into the CAP bypasses the SynchroMed II pump mechanism and goes directly through the catheter port into the implanted catheter to the infusion site.

INDUSTRY-LEADING MRI WORKFLOW

Implanting the SynchroMed II infusion pump under the appropriate conditions will not restrict patients from receiving a full-body MRI scan. The SynchroMed II infusion system allows safe full-body access to 1.5 and 3.0-Tesla MRI.* The pump is designed to resume programmed therapy after the scan.†
