Hardware and Software Fault Detection
System Fault Alarm
The CADD
®
-Solis pump performs self-tests on the hardware and software systems. If a system fault code is
displayed, one of the self-tests has failed and there may be something wrong with the pump.
If this screen appears, an unrecoverable error may have occurred, such as a hardware or software fault.
The amber indicator light is continuously illuminated during these conditions and is accompanied by
an audible two-tone alarm. If a system fault occurs, the fault should be reported to Customer Service at
Smiths Medical or Smiths Medical International Ltd.
To clear this alarm, you must remove power from the pump by opening the battery door and, if necessary,
removing the AC power. Close the battery door and turn the pump back on. If the error code does not
repeat, Smiths Medical Customer Service may suggest continued use of the pump. If the error is persistent,
the pump must be returned for service.
CAUTION:
If the power up results in an error message indicating that the protocol library was lost,
do not proceed with using the pump. Follow your facility’s procedures for downloading protocol
libraries.
Note:
Document the error numbers displayed on the system fault screen to help Smiths Medical
Customer Service identify the problem.
Order of System Fault Alarm Events
1. There is a continuous two-tone audible alarm, the amber LED indicator light is on continuously, and the
display looks like this:
Record the 5-digit system fault error code for purposes of reporting to Customer Service.
2. To silence/clear the system fault alarm, open the battery door to remove power. If necessary, remove the
AC power.
3. Once the system fault alarm has been silenced/cleared, a record of the system fault error code still exists.
It can be referenced from 2 places within the pump screens. From the device information report screen,
the 5-digit system fault code can be found under the heading, “Last Error Code.” It can also be found
on the Event Log report screen under an entry with the heading, “System Fault.” The entry in the event
log report remains in memory, and appears on the event log record until 5,000 new log entries have
occurred.
Note:
Review your facility’s procedure for handling error codes.
