Prometra II
The Prometra II programmable pump has been designed to administer the controlled dosage of drugs in the intrathecal space by means of an intrathecal catheter supplied separately. The Prometra II pump includes a patented Flow Activated Safety Valve (FAV™), that interrupts the flow of the drug to the patient in the event of an elevated flow presenting. The Prometra programmer is a handheld remote device supplied separately allowing the remote programming of the Prometra II pump. So as to help increase safety, the FAV™ safety valve (that activates with an elevated flow rate) allows its use during nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).
Prometra features an exclusive precision dosing system (PDS) designed to administer medicines accurately and reliably, minimising the reservoir volume effect and environmental factors such as temperature and pressure. The PDS provides physicians with micro-dosing capabilities. With a useful year battery life of over 10 years, fewer pump replacement procedures may be required
