It is on the recall letter dated February 4, 2008. The pump was originally implanted on May 4th 2004. After two years the pump began to function erratically. Some times it would not deliver any medication causes a state of withdrawal. It was not until 2010 (12/15) that the pump was finally removed. The representative for Medtronic. Informed me that the pump should have come out at approximately five years post implant. Not one MD, informed me of any recall nor that he pump was past its' prime and would not work at its' highest level.Leading to possible intermittent withdrawal syndrome. Another interesting fact was provided by the Medtronic Technician )phone). He informed me that the pump I had was "New." Because of this the alarm (beep) would turn to a two-tone sound shortly. It never did. Leading me to speculate that this is a refurbished device. Which I was never consulted about. Is it possible to track down the history from the device with the serial number? It is 8627L-18 / SN NCH043141R . I would appreciate your help with this matter. thank you. Sincerely, Michael Woods McCausland I have the model 82627L-18.
