• Bridge Bolus Calculation Reference Card
  

  Whenever there is a change in drug concentration or solution, the remaining old drug in the pump tubing and catheter must be accounted for to prevent under- or overdosing the patient while the old drug concentration is being cleared from the fluid pathway. This reference card outlines how to calculate a bridge bolus.

• Catheter Revision Priming Volume Calculation Reference Card
  

  The existing implanted pump internal pump tubing, reservoir and any unrevised catheter segment are full of drug following a catheter revision. All unrevised spinal catheter segments must be aspirated. A priming bolus is programmed to advance the drug to the tip of the catheter. Before executing a priming bolus it is important to know the location of drug.

• Emergency Procedure
  

  This card provides information on the identification of symptoms and suggestions for treatment for morphine Intrathecal/epidural overdose.

• Full Catheter Replacement Priming Volume Calculation Reference Card
  

  The existing implanted pump internal pump tubing and reservoir are full of drug following a catheter replacement. A priming bolus is programmed to advance drug to the tip of the catheter. Before executing a priming bolus it is important to know the location of drug.

• Low Complication Catheter Implant Technique
  

  This guide describes a low-complication catheter implant procedure for the 8709SC and 8731SC catheters.

• N'Vision Clinician Programmer and the SynchroMed Programmable Infusion System Quick Start Guide

• Pump Replacement Priming Volume Calculation Reference Card
  

  The internal pump tubing and reservoir are filled with water during the manufacturing process. Before the drug is injected into the reservoir, the water is aspirated. At implant, a priming bolus is programmed to advance drug to the tip of the catheter. Before executing a priming bolus it is important to know the location of drug or other fluid in the system.

• SynchroMed EL & II Intrathecal Catheter Distal End Occlusions

Medtronic has confirmed through engineering analyses that the use of indicated and nonindicated drug formulations can result in collection of CSF protein in the catheter lumen, distal end. Although this may occur with any drug, nonindicated drug formulations can result in significantly increased collections of material in the catheter lumen resulting in complete occlusion of the catheter.

• SynchroMed EL & II Pump Corrosion from Nonindicated Drug Formulations

Medtronic has confirmed through returned product analysis that the use of nonindicated drug formulations can compromise the performance of the SynchroMed II and SynchroMed EL infusion systems. This paper discusses the mechanism by which nonindicated drug formations can cause corrosion to the pumps internal components, resulting in permanent motor stalls and therapy cessation.
