the line on the lock lines up with the arrow on the  
side of the pump.

5. Gently twist and pull on cassette to make sure it 

is attached properly.

appropriate.

7. If the Air Detector is in use, make a small loop 

of tubing underneath the air detector and hold 
it with your thumb. Place the tubing over the 
groove in the air detector and tuck it under the 
catch. Seat the tubing into the groove by gently 
pulling the tube upward until it is under the 
retention nubs and flat in the groove.

WARnInG: Attach the cassette (the part of 

the medication Cassette reservoir or CADD

®

 

administration set that attaches to the pump) 

properly. An improperly attached or detached 

cassette could result in unregulated gravity infusion 

of medication from the fluid container or a reflux of 

blood. If you are using a CADD

®

 administration set or 

medication Cassette reservoir that does not have the 

flow stop feature (catalog number does not start with 

21-73xx): You must use a CADD

®

 extension set with an 

integral anti-siphon valve or a CADD

®

 administration 

set with either and integral or add on anti-siphon 

valve to protect against unregulated gravity infusion 

that can result from an improperly attached cassette.
