The Prometra Programmer allows clinicians convenient, non-invasive access for interrogating and
programming the implanted Prometra II Pump. Refer to the Prometra Programmer Technical Manual
for further information regarding pump programming.
Programming Medication Regimens
The Prometra II Programmable Pump can be programmed to deliver a precise flow of medication at a
constant or variable rate, or it can be set to periodically deliver a drug dosage at distinct intervals of
time (i.e. Periodic Flow Mode). There is also an option to interrupt the pump’s current medication
regimen and deliver an immediate infusion of medication (Demand Bolus). Refer to the Prometra
Programmer Technical Manual for further information regarding pump programming.
Warning: Implantation of the Prometra II Programmable Pump System and subsequent use,
reprogramming and refill should only be conducted by qualified medical personnel specifically
trained for surgical implantation, use and maintenance of the device. Prescription of pump infusion
regimens may only be conducted by physicians with a full understanding of the relationships
between concentration, dose, and infusion rate. Use of this device by non-qualified or untrained
personnel could lead to serious consequences involving under or over-medication. In the event of
over-medication, refer to the approved Infumorph labeling for appropriate treatment.
The following illustrations describe the four basic medication regimens:
Constant Flow
The Constant Flow regimen delivers a specific daily dose, e.g. mg/24 hr, of Infumorph at a constant
flow rate dependent on its concentration.
Constant Flow Regimen
Multiple Rates
The Multiple Rates regimen delivers medication using one to four user-programmed rates that repeat
daily. For each prescribed rate, the specific medication dose and time period is programmed.
