from an improperly attached cassette. Unregulated gravity
infusion could result in death or serious injury to the patient.
Threaded Mounting Hole
The optional Polemount Bracket Adapter attaches to the threaded
mounting hole in the back of the pump, allowing you to hang the
pump on an IV pole.
Battery Compartment
Two AA batteries fit into the battery compartment. The AA batter-
ies serve as the primary source of power, or as a backup when an
AC Adapter is in use.
Cassette Lock
This attaches the cassette (the part of the Medication Cassette
Reservoir or CADD
to the pump. This allows you to secure the cassette to the pump. If
the cassette becomes unlocked while the pump is running, delivery
will stop and an alarm will occur. If the cassette becomes unlocked
while the pump is stopped, an alarm will occur.
Other Features Not Shown
Upstream Occlusion Sensor: The pump contains an upstream
occlusion sensor. This feature may be turned on or off. (See Section

stream occlusion (between pump and fluid container) is detected, an
alarm will sound, delivery will stop, and the display will show
"Upstream Occlusion."
WARNING: When the Upstream Occlusion Sensor is turned off,
the pump will not detect occlusions upstream (between pump and
fluid container). Periodically inspect the fluid container for decreas-
ing volume, inspect the fluid path for kinks, a closed clamp, or
other upstream obstructions. Upstream occlusions could result in
under- or non-delivery of medications. If undetected, these
