Software issue: When programming the SynchroMed Pump with the A810 CP App in Flex Infusion Mode, the infusion steps should automatically be arranged in consecutive order, from earliest to latest. However, in rare cases, the steps may be displayed out of order. If this occurs, the programmed Flex Infusion schedule will not be delivered at the intended time, if at all.
