@heisenberg34 Yes they use a syringe with a tiny tube that empties the pump for old meds. Typically they use ultrasound to locate the access port before they inject the meds. So I agree it is a rare event, but it does happen. The methods vary from doc to doc too which is why you need an expert doc to deal with your pump. Pocket fillls are rare but as stated below they do happen from time to time
