What the authority reported
Medtronic recently identified that if the Synchromed II Pump switches into telemetry mode due to electromagnetic interference (EMI) from an MRI scan, while the pump is sounding an alarm, the pump will not resume drug delivery after leaving the MRI magnetic field. In this case, drug delivery will only resume after performing a post MRI pump interrogation with the clinician programmer which will end telemetry mode. Recall Start Date: November 21, 2023
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
