Action: ***Updated 5/12/2023*** On May 11, 2023, the firm sent an URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION UPDATE letter to all affected customers, which informed them of an update to Flowonix's plan to correct the firmware issue. Flowonix will NOT be conducting an office-based pump firmware update for affected pumps implanted prior to January 2020. Healthcare providers were provided ongoing recommendations for Prometra and Prometra II pumps implanted prior to January 2020, which are impacted by this issue. Healthcare providers should contact their Flowonix Representative or our Technical Solutions Department (1-855-356-9665) in the event cessation of therapy or premature low battery is suspected and/or have general questions regarding this notice. *** On December 24, 2019, the firm notified affected users via an Urgent Medical Device Corrective Action Recall Notice. The firm advised customers of the product issue and reminded customers that the pumps are currently labeled only for use with Infumorph. Due to the low risk that this failure mode may occur, Flowonix is not recommending that pumps be explanted. Healthcare providers were recommended to inform patients regarding the symptoms and adverse health events associated with an unexpected pump stoppage and the appropriate steps to take in the event they suspect a stoppage. The firm will be implementing a correction of firmware errors to bring the pumps back into specification. The firm will follow up when the change has been completed. An office-based pump firmware update is being developed for patients currently implanted with the affected pumps. (Note, as of the 5/12/23 update, implanted pumps will not be receiving a firmware update.)

About this record

Sourced from the FDA device recall database and the FDA enforcement reports, both ingested from openFDA. The recall record supplies the product, the reason and the product code; the enforcement report supplies the classification. The two datasets are exported by FDA on different days, and the date above is the older of the two, so nothing on this page is newer than it says.

MDM adds the root cause tag, derived from FDA’s own root cause text, and the cross-links to the product code, the clearances named on the record and MDM coverage. Where a recall has not been joined to an enforcement report, no classification is shown.
