Introduction ® Your doctor has recommended that you use the CADD‑Prizm pump as part of your treatment. ® The CADD-Prizm pump can be carried with you and is designed to deliver medication into your body. PCA stands for patient controlled analgesia.
Failure to properly follow warnings, cautions, and instructions could result in damage to the pump or death or serious injury. Warnings • Do not use the pump in the presence of flammable anesthetics or explosive gasses. • If the pump is used to deliver life-sustaining medication, an additional pump must be available. ® • Use of a syringe with the CADD Administration Set may result in UNDER-DELIVERY of medication. Syringe function can be adversely affected by variations in plunger dimension and lubricity, which can result in greater force required to move the syringe plunger.

• If the pump is dropped or hit, the battery door may become broken or damaged. Do not use the pump if the battery door is damaged because the battery will not be properly secured; this may result in loss of power or non-delivery of drug. • Prior to starting infusion, inspect the fluid path for kinks, a closed clamp, or other upstream obstructions, and remove all air to prevent air embolism. • Do not place the Remote Dose Cord where the button might accidentally be pushed.
