Programming and Operation

Autolock

®
The CADD -Solis pump has been designed to
meet both safety and usability needs. The autolock
feature reduces the chance of non-authorized pump
programming.
When the keypad is unlocked using the security
code and left unlocked (pushing the right soft
key twice from the home screen will ensure that
the pump has been locked), the software will
eventually lock the keypad. This autolock feature
takes affect on the home screen approximately 30
seconds after the last key press. It will take longer
on programming or task screens where the user
typically needs more time to perform an action
(Depending on which screen the pump was left on,
it will take up to 4.5 minutes after the last key press,
if the pump is not alarming. When the pump is
alarming the autolock does not take affect).
If using the key to unlock the keypad while the
pump is running, you will be able to edit the
program values. You should then relock the keypad
using the key.
NOTE: The keypad can always be re-locked by
pushing the right soft key twice from the home
screen (or once from the tasks menu). As a
recommended safety precaution, always be sure to
manually lock the pump using this feature.

various security levels. To learn more about the

the CADD -Solis system administrator has set up
the protocol, you may be able to use the cassette/
keypad lock to unlock the keypad. When a code or
the pump key is required, the pump will always ask
for it with one of the following screens:
To unlock the keypad with the pump key, turn the
pump key counter-clockwise
to put the cassette/keypad lock
in the unlocked position.
NOTE: It is possible for the
keypad to be locked while
the cassette/keypad lock is
unlocked. To use the pump
key to unlock the keypad, first
lock the cassette/keypad lock,
and then unlock it.
To access the tasks menu,
select Tasks on the home

Give Clinician Bolus
A clinician bolus may only be delivered while the
pump is running. It allows you to deliver a specified
amount of drug, for example, as a loading dose. A
clinician bolus cannot be started while a PCA dose
is in progress. The amount delivered decreases the
reservoir volume and increases the given amount,
but does not add to the dose counters or to the
delivery limit. A clinician bolus may be stopped in
progress.
NOTE: If a clinician bolus is manually stopped by
a clinician or automatically stopped by an alarm,
power failure, or other condition that stops delivery,
the pump will remember what point the bolus was
at when it stopped. The next time you choose to give
