Introduction
Your doctor has recommended that you use the
CADD-Prizm
®
pump
as part of your treatment.
The CADD-Prizm
®
pump can be carried with you and is
designed to deliver medication into your body. Your physi-
cian will prescribe your medication specifically for you. Your
prescription is programmed into your pump by your clinician
according to your physician’s specific orders. This pump can
be reprogrammed as your medication needs change.
The pump can be programmed to deliver TPN (“total
parenteral nutrition”) solution or other fluids at a constant
rate. Delivery may “taper up,” or gradually increase, at the
beginning of delivery. Delivery may also “taper down,” or
gradually decrease, at the end of delivery. The pump stores
programmed information and historical information that
your clinician needs for your specific therapy.
Your clinician will instruct you on the proper use of this
pump. This guide is intended to supplement those instruc-
tions. Perform only those procedures for which you have
received training.
The following is a list of warnings and cautions that you
should read before operating the pump. It is important that
you understand and follow these warnings and cautions.
