Medtronic SynchroMed II, Model 8637-40, Programmable pump
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.
The hazard
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.
