Z45: Adjustment and management of implanted device
Z45.1: Adjustment and management of infusion pump
You need a specific drug. That may for instance be a painkiller. You are receiving this drug through a thin tube that is connected to a pump. Sometimes a pump like this will be located in the lower abdomen.
The pump must be precisely tailored to your drug requirements. For example, it is possible to adjust how quickly the pump works and how much of the drug gets into the body.
