Read this entire Operator’s Manual before operating the CADD-Legacy®
ambulatory infusion pump.
Failure to properly follow warnings, cautions, and instructions could
result in death or serious injury to the patient.
Warnings
• is Operator’s Manual should be used by clinicians only. Do not
permit patients to have access to this manual, as the information
contained would allow the patient complete access to all program-
ming and operating functions. Improper programming could result
in death or serious injury to the patient.
• To avoid explosion hazard, do not use the pump in the presence of
ammable anesthetics or explosive gases.
• For those patients who are likely to be adversely aected by unintend-
ed operations and failures, including interrupted medication or uid
delivery from the device, close supervision and provision for immedi-
ate corrective action should be provided.
• If the pump is used to deliver life-sustaining medication, a backup
pump should be available.
• e pump should not to be used for delivery of blood or cellular blood
products.
• If the pump is dropped or hit, inspect the pump for damage. Do not
use a pump that is damaged or is not functioning properly. Contact
Smiths Medical MD, Inc. Customer Service to return a pump for
service.
• Use of a syringe with the CADD™ Administration Set may result in
UNDER-DELIVERY of medication. Syringe function can be adversely
aected by variations in plunger dimension and lubricity, which can
result in greater force required to move the syringe plunger. A syringe
plunger will lose lubrication as it ages and, as a result, the amount of
under-delivery will increase which could on occasion, be signicant.
erefore, the type of medication and delivery accuracy required
must be considered when using a syringe with the CADD® pump.
