Annual Inspection and Testing Procedures
Inspection Recommendation
Smiths Medical recommends that the following inspection and test procedures be performed annually to
verify function and accuracy of the CADD
®
-Solis VIP pump.
Note:
•
Become familiar with the CADD®-Solis VIP pump before performing the following tests and
procedures. Read the Operator’s Manual supplied with the pump before proceeding.
•
Run the test procedures in manual mode.
•
Many of the tests include steps to unlock the keypad. This is necessary only if the keypad is not already
unlocked.
CAUTION: CADD® pumps are sealed units. A broken or damaged seal will therefore be considered
conclusive evidence that the pump has been misused and/or altered, which voids any and all
warranties. All service and repair of CADD® pumps must be performed by Smiths Medical or its
authorized agents.
I. Visual Inspection
☐
Visually inspect the pump for any damage to the LCD, occlusion sensor seals, valves and
expulsor, cassette hinge area, latch handle, USB connector, lock, 3 cassette sensors, keypad,
indicator lights, AC power jack, remote dose jack, air detector sensor, and housings.
☐
Check the battery door for proper operation. It should not be cracked or broken. Inspect the
battery door seal for proper position.
☐
Examine the battery compartment for damage or debris.
II. Mechanical Inspection
Equipment needed
• 1 CADD
™
medication cassette reservoir
or
1 CADD® administration set
• 1 CADD® key
Procedure
☐
Press each key on the keypad. Each key should have a distinctive tactile feel, and should not feel
flat.
☐
Close and latch the battery door. It should fit snugly in place when closed on the pump.
☐
Attach a CADD
™
medication cassette reservoir or a CADD® administration set to the pump.
Check for smooth operation of the latch. Gently twist and pull on the cassette to make sure it is
firmly attached to the pump.

Lock the cassette by inserting a key into the lock and turning clockwise into the locked
position.
