The FDA has notified healthcare professionals that Medtronic Drug Infusion Pumps could fail if they are used with drugs not approved for the devices. The consequences could be severe adverse health events including death.
When medications used in the pump are not approved for the device, the motor may stall intermittently or fail permanently, ceasing the infusion of drugs as prescribed. Patients may not be aware the pump has failed until they experience a potentially serious medical issue.
The Medtronic recalled implantable drug infusion pump models are:
SynchroMed II
SynchroMed EL
The FDA says this Class 1 recall is the most serious type of recall and involve situations in which there is a reasonable probability that use of these products will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
Our firm is investigating cases nationwide where these pumps may be responsible for injury or death.

Parents of premature babies in a four-year study of oxygen level treatment were not sufficiently warned of the potential dangers of the experiments. The families of over one thousand babies could have been at risk of blindness, brain damage or death as a consequence of their participation in the research.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services criticized lead researchers at the nearly two dozen participating medical schools for inadequate informed consent. Emory University Medical School in Atlanta participated in the study.
The attorneys at Harman Law Firm are investigating any harm to babies that may have occurred during their involvement in the research. If you or a family you know has an infant who was in the study at Emory or any research center who experienced a health problem contact our firm immediately to learn your options and protect the child’s health in the future.
