Why it was recalled

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, which is inconsistent with the current labeling.

This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
