\"\"<\/a>The Symbios GOPump Rapid Recovery System is a disposable local pain management system distributed by B. Braun Medical Inc. and manufactured by Symbios Medical Products out of Indianapolis, Indiana.\u00a0 The GOPump System delivers pain medication slowly to a surgical site through tubes leading from a small balloon that is inflated with a local anesthetic medication.<\/p>\n

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a Class I recall for the Symbios GoPump in the GoPump Rapid Recovery System Kits and the GoBlock Kits, as well.<\/p>\n

The FDA reports those systems manufactured before July 2012 and distributed from April 27, 2011 to April 30, 2013, may have excessively high flow rates.\u00a0 These high flow rates could result in medications being delivered too quickly from the balloon to the surgical site and could cause patient toxicity because of too much medication in too short of a time.\u00a0 The patient could then suffer serious illness, including seizure, abnormal heart rhythms and death.\u00a0 Those most susceptible are patients with a low body mass and the elderly.<\/p>\n

When the FDA issues a Class I recall \u2013 the most serious type of recall \u2013 the agency feels there is a good chance the recalled product could cause serious injury or even death.<\/p>\n
