SIMS Deltec CADD-Legacy PLUS Operator's Manual page 5

• Do not disclose to the patient the pump's security codes or any
other information that would allow the patient complete access
to all programming and operating functions.
• 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 prop-
erly.
• Always have new batteries available for replacement. If power is
lost, non-delivery of drug will occur.
• If the pump is dropped or hit, the battery door tabs may break.
Do not use the pump if the battery door or tabs are damaged
because the batteries will not be properly secured; this may result
in loss of power and non-delivery of drug.
• If a gap is present anywhere between the battery door and the
pump housing, the door is not properly latched. If the battery
door becomes detached or loose, the batteries will not be prop-
erly secured; this could result in loss of power and nondelivery of
drug.
• Close the fluid path tubing with the clamp before removing the
cassette from the pump to prevent unregulated gravity infusion.
• For detailed instructions and warnings pertaining to Medication
Cassette ™ Reservoir or CADD
to the instructions supplied with those products.
• Frozen medication must be thawed at room temperature only.
Do not heat the Medication Cassette
oven as this may damage the medication, the Medication Cas-
™
sette Reservoir, or cause leakage.
• Attach the cassette (the part of the Medication Cassette
voir or CADD
properly. An improperly attached or detached cassette could
result in unregulated gravity infusion of medication from the
fluid container or a reflux of blood.
