Efficio software supports HIPAA compliance and is designed to safeguard protected health information. Data is protected using encryption and authentication. Access restrictions and login time limits are also in place to help protect data.
About SynchroMed II Intrathecal Drug Delivery System
The SynchroMed II intrathecal drug delivery system offers a safe, proven, and effective way to manage chronic pain, cancer pain and severe spasticity for appropriate patients. SynchroMed II provides effective pain relief at a fraction of the oral dose with fewer side effects and has been shown to reduce or eliminate the use of oral opioids.1-4 A programmable pump and catheter are implanted under the skin and deliver prescribed amounts of medication directly into the intrathecal space near pain receptors in the spine instead of the circulatory system. The implanted pump stores and dispenses medication inside the body, reducing the opportunity for diversion of the drug, and misuse by individuals who are not prescribed the opioids.
