Cautions - SIMS Deltec CADD-1 5100 HFX Operator's Manual

• To prevent the uncontrolled flow of medication, use a CADD
Anti-Siphon Valve, a CADD
®
or a CADD Administration Set with an attached Add O n Anti-Siphon Valve.
• Use of a syringe with the CADD
DELIVERY of medication. Syringe function can be adversely affected by variations
in plunger dimension and lubricity, which can result in greater force being r equired
to move the plunger. A syringe will lose plunger lubrication as it ages and, as a
result, the amount of under-deliver y will increase which could, on occasion, be
significant. Therefore, the type of medication therapy and delivery accuracy required
must be considered when using a syringe with the CADD
Clinicians must regularly compare the volume remaining in the syringe to the
pump's displayed values such as RES VO L and GIVEN in order to determine
whether under-deliver y of medication is occurring and, if necessar y, take appropriate
action.
