Publications & Clinical Study

Publications
& Clinical Study

In January of 2007, a clinical trial was initiated to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and accuracy of the Prometra II® Programmable Pump.

The objective of the study was to determine whether the Prometra II Programmable Implantable Pump System was safe, effective, and accurate for the delivery of preservative-free morphine sulfate approved for intrathecal administration. The study used a non-randomized, open-label, multi-center approach, and enrolled 110 patients from seven investigational sites.

Successful outcomes were benchmarked at industry standards for programmable intrathecal pumps.

Data was to be collected at baseline, monthly for six months, and quarterly after six months. The study illustrated that Prometra II was accurate, safe and effective.

The accuracy of the pump was found to be significantly greater than the industry benchmark of ±14.5%. Further studies will explore what impact a significantly greater accuracy has upon improvement of function and quality of life.

Additionally, we have published multiple papers have been on the programmable infusion system:

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

Q: How is Prometra II different from a peristaltic pump?

Answer:

The Prometra II® drug delivery system is a valve gated pump. Instead of rollers and plastic tubing, it uses valves to isolate a titanium dosing chamber from the reservoir and catheter. This results in two principle effects: better control over dosing reliability and longer battery life. Separating the dosing chamber from the reservoir prevents the increase in pressure in the reservoir at refill, decrease in pressure over the weeks as drug is emptied from the reservoir, and from having an impact on the amount of drug delivered. With this design, temperature and pressure effects, like getting into a hot tub or traveling by plane are minimized.

Q: How does Prometra II work?

Answer:

The Prometra II system has incredibly high dependability standards due to the advanced technology used to develop it.

Because no medicine is being absorbed by the body on the way to the spinal cord, the amount of drug typically being delivered by intrathecal pumps per day is very low – often about seven drops of medicine a day. In order to provide high levels of dosing reliability without significant battery power, Prometra II uses a simple micro-valve mechanism to control the flow of medicines from the reservoir to the catheter.

By controlling the flow of medicine with valves in a precision dosing system, Prometra II minimizes weather, atmospheric pressure, reservoir fill level, and medicine flow rate from affecting the accuracy of delivery. 

Q: How do you trial for the Prometra II?

Answer:

It is customary for patients to undergo an intrathecal drug trial to learn about that particular patient’s level of efficacy and potential side effects of intrathecal drugs before the permanent implantation procedure is scheduled. 

Q: Does reimbursement change with Prometra II?

Answer:

No. The Prometra II Pump is reimbursed under the same codes as other programmable, implantable, intrathecal pumps with the same indications. For more information, please see our section on reimbursement and billing guides.
