Pump Setup
in the protocol title bar () as well as the soft key
bar (). A protocol displayed in black signifies that
the protocol being used is a non-standard protocol
or that the pump is programmed using the manual
mode (see Manual Mode Programming on page 32).
Refer to your facility's policies and procedures to
understand how colors will be used to identify your
protocols.
The pump also uses color to help the clinician
recognize the pump's status. The colors blue, green,
amber, and red are used in the status bar as well as
on alarm screens.
Similar to a traffic control light: green means go,
amber indicates caution, and red means stop:
• Green—indicates the conditions in the pump
are good (e.g., the reservoir volume is above
the low reservoir trip point).
• Amber—indicates there is a condition to
watch, but the current conditions of the pump
are satisfactory (e.g., the low reservoir trip
point has been reached).
• Red—indicates a warning condition that
requires immediate attention and that the
infusion has stopped (e.g., the reservoir
volume has reached zero).
The color blue is also used in the status bar to give
informational messages (e.g., remote dose cord
attached).
To understand how colors relate to alarm screens,
refer to the alarms and messages section on p. 36.

Before Programming

Protocol libraries are created with the CADD
Medication Safety Software and can be imported
into the pump by your CADD
administrator. Before programming the pump for
a patient, make sure the pump contains a protocol
library. If you are not using the CADD
pump with a protocol library, see Manual Mode
Programming on page 32.
A protocol from the library may be manually edited
in the administrator settings. If you are authorized,
see the Administrator Settings Guide or contact
®
your facility's CADD -Solis system administrator for
further information.

Attach a Cassette

Obtain a new, filled medication cassette reservoir, or
®
CADD administration set attached to a flexible IV
bag. Refer to the instructions for use supplied with
the product for information on preparing the
product for use.
CAUTION: If you are using a medication cassette
reservoir in which the medication is frozen,
thaw at room temperature only. Do not heat in a
microwave oven as this may damage the product
and cause leakage.
To attach the cassette to the pump:
1. Make sure the cassette latch
is unlocked and open the
cassette latch.
2. Clamp the tubing.
Insert the cassette
hooks into the hinge
pins on the bottom
of the pump.
3. Holding the pump
in your hands, push
down on the cassette
latch, and push up
on the cassette until
it firmly clicks into
place.
4. Lift the cassette latch
into the closed
position. A message
will briefly appear in
the status bar so you
can verify the type
of cassette you have
attached.
