I tried to get one of the chemopomp pumps for my husband. I heard back from the Erasmus MC Cancer Institute. They say:
"The unfortunate circumstance is that our pump, manufactured by Tricumed GmBh in Kiel (Germany) has no FDA approval.
As far as I know this doesn't allow US centers to implant this pump."
