Description of the CADD-Prizm
®
VIP Pump
The CADD-Prizm
®
VIP ambulatory drug delivery pump provides measured
drug therapy to patients in hospital or outpatient settings.
The
PCA (Patient-Controlled Analgesia)
delivery mode is used for thera-
pies that require a continuous rate of infusion, patient-controlled demand
doses, or both, such as patient-controlled analgesia.
The
Continuous
delivery mode allows the infusion of drug at a constant,
programmed rate.
The
TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition)
delivery mode allows the infusion of
nutritional solutions or other fluids, with optional tapering at the begin-
ning and end of infusion.
The
Intermittent
delivery mode allows the infusion of a specific volume of
drug at a regular, programmed interval.
Epidural/Subarachnoid Administration
The selected drug must be used in accordance with the indications
included in the package insert accompanying the drug. Administration
of any drug by this pump is limited by any warnings, precautions, or
contraindications in the drug labeling.
Analgesics
Administration of analgesics to the epidural space is
limited to use with indwelling catheters specifically indicated for
either short- or long-term drug delivery. Administration of analgesics
to the subarachnoid space is limited to use with indwelling catheters
specifically indicated for short-term drug delivery.
Anesthetics
Administration of anesthetics to the epidural space is
limited to use with indwelling catheters specifically indicated for
short-term drug delivery.
WARNING:
>
Do not administer drugs to the epidural space or subarachnoid space unless
the drug is indicated for those spaces.
>
To prevent the infusion of drugs that are not indicated for epidural space or
subarachnoid space infusion, DO NOT use administration sets that incorporate
injection sites.
>
If a medication cassette reservoir, CADD
®
extension set or CADD
®
administration
set is used for epidural space or subarachnoid space drug delivery, it is strongly
recommended that it be clearly differentiated from those used for other routes
of infusion, for example, by color coding, or other means of identification.
