3. Close the battery door and using your fingers,
the pump key, or a coin, turn the knob on the
battery door clockwise to lock.
NOTE: If you put the batteries in backwards, the
pump will not power up. Check the batteries,
making sure to match the + and - markings.
CAUTION: Do not store the pump for prolonged
periods with the batteries installed. Battery
leakage could damage the pump.
NOTES:
•
Battery life is dependent on the amount of
medication delivered, delivery rate, battery
age, temperature, active display time, and
backlight intensity.
•
The power of the battery will be quickly
depleted at temperatures below 10°C (50°F).

Replacing the battery door

If the battery door
is removed or needs
replacing, simply snap the
door onto the bar that is
located on the pump (see
picture).

Power Up

Press and hold the power switch to turn the pump
on. The pump will start the power up sequence
during which it will perform various self-tests,
test for alarm conditions, and then ask you if you
want to start a new patient. Watch for the following
during power-up:
•
Both the green and amber indicator lights will
flash.
•
The display will quickly flash gray, then blue.
An amber swirl will then fill the display,
followed by a CADD
Infusion System display. Look for any stripes
or black or white pixels, which would indicate
a faulty display. If you see any indication of a
faulty display, remove the pump from service
and contact Smiths Medical Customer Service.

•
After the power up is completed, listen for
the Morse Code "OK" sound (a series of six
audible beeps). If you do not hear this sound,
there may be a problem with the audible
alarms. If you believe there is a problem,
remove the pump from service and contact
Smiths Medical Customer Service.
•
If any issues are found while the pump is
performing the self tests, alarms will sound
(e.g., if the battery is low or a key on the
keypad is stuck in the pressed position).
CAUTION: If the power up results in an error
message indicating that the protocol library
was lost, do not proceed with using the pump.
Follow your facility's procedures for downloading
protocol libraries.
