Giving a Clinician Bolus
A clinician bolus may be delivered only
when the pump is running. It allows
delivery of a specific amount of drug,
such as a loading dose. A clinician
bolus cannot be started while a PCA
dose is in progress. The clinician bolus
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: The maximum clinician bolus
may be limited by the settings in the
protocol, which is determined by the
CADD -Solis system administrator.

Start a PCA Dose
If a PCA dose is programmed, the
patient may start a PCA dose while the
pump is running. The amount delivered
is added to the amount provided by
the continuous rate. Each time the
patient requests a PCA dose, the pump
automatically adds it to the Given and
PCA Dose Counters report.
The remote dose cord can be attached
to the pump and provided to the patient
as an alternative to pushing the PCA
dose key when requesting a PCA dose.
The LED on the remote dose cord
indicates PCA dose status:
Off: A PCA dose is not available
•
Flashing: A PCA dose is available
•
On: A PCA dose has been requested
•
and delivery has started
Notes:
• A PCA dose cannot be started while
another PCA dose or a clinician
bolus is in progress
• The PCA dose key on the pump is
inactive when the remote dose cord
is connected to the pump
• If the display has automatically
blanked, pressing the PCA dose
key turns the display back on and
delivers a PCA dose, if available
