Power Switch
Turns the pump on or off. Press and hold the switch to turn the pump on. Press the switch to turn the
pump off, and confirm that you want to power down by selecting
Yes.
Power Jack
You may plug the AC adapter into the power jack. When the AC adapter is plugged in, the blue power
light turns on. This light is on regardless of the pump’s on or off status. See
on page 15 for more
information.
USB Port
A mini-B USB cord may be attached to the USB port for communication with the CADD
®
-Solis
Medication Safety Software.
Remote Dose Cord Jack
Used for attaching the remote dose cord. See
on page 15 for more information.
Battery Compartment
Four AA batteries or the rechargeable battery pack fit into this compartment. The batteries serve as
the primary source of power, or as a backup when the AC adapter is in use. See
additional information.
Cassette Latch
Used to attach the cassette to the pump. When the pump is turned on, it detects whether the cassette
is latched properly. Delivery stops and an alarm occurs if the cassette becomes unlatched. See
Cassette/Keypad Lock
Secures the cassette to the pump using the pump key provided. The cassette latch must be latched before
it can be locked. The cassette/keypad lock can be configured to unlock only the cassette latch or to unlock
the cassette latch as well as the keypad. This is configured by the CADD
®
-Solis system administrator. See
Air Detector
The air detector may be turned on or off, depending on facility or therapy requirements (see
on page 102). If air is detected in the part of the tubing that passes the air detector sensor, an alarm
sounds and delivery stops. If an air detector is not required, it may be turned off.
WARNING:
If the air detector is turned off, the pump does not detect air in the fluid path. It is
recommended that you periodically inspect the fluid path and remove any air to prevent air
embolism, which could result in serious patient injury or death.
Downstream Occlusion Sensor
The pump contains a downstream occlusion sensor. When a downstream occlusion (between the pump
and the patient) is detected, an alarm sounds, delivery stops, and the display shows “Downstream
occlusion. Clear occlusion between pump and patient”.
Upstream Occlusion Sensor
The pump contains an upstream occlusion sensor. This feature may be turned on or off (see
, on page 103). When an upstream occlusion (between the pump and the reservoir) is detected,
an alarm sounds, delivery stops, and the display shows “Upstream occlusion. Clear occlusion between
pump and reservoir”.
WARNING:
When the upstream occlusion sensor is turned off, the pump does not detect occlusions
upstream between the pump and the reservoir. Periodic inspection of the fluid path for kinks, a
closed clamp, or other upstream obstructions is recommended. Upstream occlusions may result in
underdelivery of medication. If undetected, these occlusions could lead to death or serious injury to
the patient.
