Reservoir Volume; Manual Mode Programming - Smiths Medical CADD-Solis Operator's Manual

Programming and Operation

Reservoir Volume

The reservoir volume is a program setting that
allows you to set the amount of fluid that is
contained in the reservoir. Once you set this
number, the software keeps track of how much fluid
has been delivered and adjusts the reservoir volume
accordingly.
The pump must be stopped, and the keypad
unlocked, to adjust the reservoir volume amount.
To edit the reservoir volume:
1. From the Home screen,
press U or D to
choose Reservoir Vol.
and press S.
2. Unlock the keypad
using the security code or the pump key.
3. Press U or D until
you reach the desired
reservoir volume and
select Save.
You may press S
to reset the pump
to a default amount
which will appear
on the screen in blue
text, under the current value. In this example,
pressing S will reset the reservoir volume to
100 mL.

Manual Mode Programming

The manual mode is for situations when the doctor's
orders may not match any of the protocols in the
library, or when a protocol library is not available.
The screen for the manual mode will always be
black in color and the therapy, qualifier, and drug
and concentration listing will look like this (see page
17 for a diagram of the pump screen):
NOTE: The protocol title bar may be black even
when the pump is not in manual mode if the
protocol has been modified in the administrator
settings (see the Administrator Settings Guide for
more information). Be sure to check the therapy,
qualifier, drug, and concentration or units displayed
to ensure you are in manual mode.
Unlike protocols that are created and downloaded
into the pump by the CADD
Safety Software System, the manual mode
allows you to choose the units (mL, mg, mcg)
and concentration, and does not contain any
programming limits. Many of the parameters in
Press here to Save
the manual mode will remain the same as the
parameters from the previously used protocol. For
example, if the previous protocol had delivery limit
set as its delivery limit method, the manual mode
will also have delivery limit as its delivery limit
method. However, the actual programming limits of
the previous protocol will be erased. The hard and
soft limits are all set to the factory default, which
means the delivery ranges are not limited. See the
following chart for details.
NOTE: If the pump was set to the factory default,
or if you are using the pump for the first time, the
previously selected protocol is the factory default
settings. Refer to the table on page 52 to see what the
factory default settings are.
If you desire to set programming limits after
choosing the manual mode, you may do so. See the
Administrator Settings Guide for more information.

the manual
mode has been
selected.
