®
The CADD -Solis ambulatory infusion system
is designed to promote patient care and safety
for a variety of adult and pediatric patients and
clinical care areas, including, but not limited to,
post-operative, trauma, critical care, oncology, and
labor and delivery. This manual concerns only the
®
CADD -Solis ambulatory infusion pump. This
pump can be programmed with a pump protocol
configuration, consisting of a therapy, qualifier,
and drug. The pump can deliver medication at a
constant rate and/or with a bolus dose.
This manual is intended for clinician use only, do
not permit patients to have access to it. The pump
has three security levels designed to limit overall
patient access and clinician access to certain pump
features. Only disclose the pump's security codes to
those who are authorized. Patient and unauthorized
clinician access to the pump key should also be
restricted.
The issue date of this Operator's Manual is included
on the back cover. In the event one year has elapsed

WARNINGS

•
This operator's manual should be used by
clinicians only. Do not permit patients to
have access to this manual, as the information
contained would allow the patient complete
access to all programming and operating
functions.
•
To avoid explosion hazard, do not use the
pump in the presence of flammable anesthetics
or explosive gases.
•
For those patients who are likely to be
adversely affected by unintended operations
and failures, including interrupted medication
or fluid delivery from the device, close
supervision and provision for immediate
corrective action should be provided in order
to assure minimum medication delivery
interruption. Pump failure will suspend
medication delivery, and unintended
pump operations could lead to a variety of
consequences for the patient.
•
If the pump is used to deliver life-sustaining
medication, an additional pump must be
available, and close supervision and provision
for immediate corrective action should be
provided to assure minimum medication
delivery interruption in the event of a pump
failure. Pump failure will suspend medication
delivery.
•
The pump is not to be used for delivery of
blood or cellular blood products, as blood
and blood products will be damaged by the
pumping mechanism.
•
If the pump is dropped or hit, inspect the
pump for damage. Do not use a pump that
is damaged or is not functioning properly.
Contact Smiths Medical Customer Service to
return a pump for service.
