Attaching a New Cassette
Obtain a new, filled CADD
™
medication cassette reservoir, or
CADD
®
administration set attached to a flexible IV bag. Refer to the
Instructions for Use
supplied with the product for information on
preparing the product for use.
WARNING:
•
Attach the cassette properly. A detached or improperly
attached cassette could result in unregulated gravity infusion of
medication from the reservoir or a reflux of blood, which could
result in death or serious injury.
•
If you are using a CADD
®
administration set or CADD
™
medication cassette reservoir that does not have the Flow Stop
feature: you must use a CADD
®
extension set with anti-siphon
valve or a CADD
®
administration set with either an integral or
add-on anti-siphon valve to protect against unregulated gravity
infusion that can result from an improperly attached cassette.
Unregulated gravity infusion can result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: If you are using a CADD
™
medication cassette
reservoir in which the medication is frozen, thaw at room
temperature only. Do not heat in a microwave oven as this
may damage the product and cause leakage.
When attaching a cassette, use aseptic technique as instructed by
your health care provider.
To attach a cassette:
1. Clamp the tubing on the new CADD
™
medication cassette
reservoir or CADD
®
administration set. If required, remove
the blue clip from the Flow Stop feature.
2. Before attaching a new cassette, make sure the pump is
powered on.
