Cassettes
The cassette is the part of the CADD
™
medication cassette reservoir or CADD
®
administration set that
attaches to the bottom of the pump. Either a CADD
™
medication cassette reservoir used with a CADD
®
extension set, or a CADD
®
administration set are compatible with the pump.
WARNING:
Follow the instructions for use provided with the CADD
™
medication cassette reservoir,
CADD
®
extension set, or CADD
®
administration set, paying particular attention to all warnings
and cautions associated with their use. Incorrect preparation and/or use of these products could
result in serious patient injury or death.
NOTE:
•
A CADD
®
set with free flow protection must be used.
•
A CADD
®
high volume administration set is required for rates above 250 mL/hr.
•
Appropriate supplies needed to replace cassettes should be available if a cassette is damaged.
•
For detailed instructions on preparing the product for use, refer to the instructions for use supplied
with the product.
Remove a Cassette
1. Make sure the pump is stopped before removing the cassette.
2. Close the tubing clamp.
WARNING:
Per general rules of safe practice, always clamp the tubing before removing the cassette
from the pump. Removing the cassette without closing the clamp could potentially cause
unregulated gravity infusion, which could result in patient injury or death.
3. If locked, insert the pump key and turn the cassette/keypad lock counter-
clockwise into the unlocked position. “Cassette Unlocked” briefly appears in the
status bar.
NOTE:
Only PCA infusions require the cassette to be locked in order to run the
pump.
4. Push down on the cassette latch until the cassette detaches.
