Operating the Pump
Batteries
Four AA, 1.5 volt primary (non-rechargeable) alkaline batteries or the CADD
®
-Solis rechargeable battery
pack are recommended for use in the CADD
®
-Solis VIP ambulatory infusion pump.
NOTE:
Smiths Medical does not recommend mixing new and used batteries because it may affect low
battery alarm times. Always use 4 new batteries when replacing depleted ones.
CAUTION:
Inspect the AA batteries for damage or wear to the metal or plastic insulation prior to use,
or after the pump has been dropped or hit. Replace the batteries if any damage is noted.
The pump retains all programmed values when the batteries are removed, but the batteries must be in
place during delivery. If the batteries are removed while the pump is delivering, and an AC adapter is
connected, delivery stops. If an AC adapter is not connected and the batteries are removed, delivery stops
and the pump loses power.
Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally safe manner, and according to any regulations which
may apply.
WARNING:
•
Do not use rechargeable NiCd or nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Do not use carbon zinc
(“heavy duty”) batteries. They do not provide sufficient power for the pump to operate properly,
which could result in death or serious injury to the patient.
•
Always have new batteries available for replacement. If power is lost, nondelivery of drug occurs
and depending on the type of drug being administered, could result in death or serious injury to
the patient.
•
A rechargeable battery pack that has reached the end of its useful life must be replaced with either
another CADD
®
-Solis rechargeable battery pack or with 4 AA batteries. Using rechargeable battery
packs from other manufacturers could result in fire or explosion.
•
There is no pump alarm to alert users that a battery has not been properly installed. An improperly
installed battery could result in loss of power and nondelivery of drug and depending on the type of
drug being administered, could result in death or serious injury to the patient.
•
Always check the battery compartment for fluid or debris before inserting the batteries, and do
not allow any fluid or debris to fall into the battery compartment. Fluid or debris in the battery
compartment may damage the battery contacts and could result in loss of power and nondelivery of
drug and depending on the type of drug being administered, could result in death or serious injury
to the patient.
•
If the pump is dropped or hit, the battery door may become broken or damaged. Do not use the
pump if the battery door is damaged because the batteries will not be properly secured. This may
result in loss of power, nondelivery of drug and depending on the type of drug being administered,
could result in death or serious injury to the patient.
