Failure to properly follow warnings, cautions, and instruc-
tions could result in damage to the pump or death or serious
injury.
W a r n i n g s
• If the pump is used to deliver life-sustaining medication, an
additional pump must be available.
• Use of a syringe with the CADD
result in UNDER-DELIVERY of medication. Syringe function
can be adversely affected by variations in plunger dimen-
sion and lubricity, which can result in greater force re-
quired to move the syringe plunger. A syringe plunger will
lose lubrication as it ages and, as a result, the amount of
under-delivery will increase and could, on occasion, be
significant.
You must regularly compare the volume remaining in the
syringe to the pump's displayed values such as Reservoir
Volume or Given to determine if under-delivery is occur-
ring and, if necessary, contact your clinician.
• Do not use rechargeable NiCad or nickel metal hydride
(NiMH) batteries. Do not use carbon zinc ("heavy duty")
batteries. They do not provide sufficient power for the
pump to operate properly.
• Always have new batteries available for replacement. If
power is lost, non-delivery of drug will occur.
• There is no pump alarm to alert you that the battery has
not been properly installed or has become dislodged. An
improperly installed or dislodged battery could result in
loss of power and non-delivery of drug.
