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. Your physician will prescribe
your medication specifically for you. Your prescription is
programmed into your pump by your clinician according to
your physician’s specific orders. This pump can be repro-
grammed as your medication needs change.
The pump can be programmed to deliver medication at a
constant rate and/or to allow delivery of a bolus dose at a
specified time interval. The pump stores programmed infor-
mation and historical information that your clinician needs
for your specific therapy.
Your clinician will instruct you on the proper use of this
pump. This guide is intended to supplement those instruc-
tions. Perform only those procedures for which you have
received training.
The following is a list of warnings and cautions that you
should read before operating the pump. It is important that
you understand and follow these warnings and cautions.
