Important Information

If there are any system problems during the self tests,
the pump will stop the tests and display an alarm screen
letting you know there is a problem. If this happens, do
not use the pump.
e cartridge cap, battery cap, and luer connections are
not childproof. Tampering with them can result in over-
or under-delivery of medication.
e time and date must be set correctly, since delivery
factors are time-based, and all history is stored based on
time and date. Occasionally the time will need to be reset,
for example, during daylight savings time or to adjust for a
dierent time zone.
Do not allow the patient to learn the pass code. e
pass code allows access to all delivery programming and
security settings.
If you choose not to require pass codes to access the Setup
and Delivery Program menus, the patient will have full
access to all programming and delivery functions.
Always use the pump’s Load feature when starting a new
cartridge. is will assure that the cartridge is properly
loaded and the infusion or extension set is lled with
medication.
Always use aseptic technique, particularly when work-
ing with the cartridge, infusion set, catheter and access
site to minimize the risk of infections.
e CADD-MS™ 3 pump and cartridge are not a secure
system. Patient must be assessed for appropriateness of
pump usage.
Always read the Instructions For Use provided with the
medication, cartridge, infusion set, and any other acces-
sory used with the CADD-MS™ 3 pump.
To avoid accidentally infusing medication or caus-
ing backow of blood from the access device (or site),
disconnect the tubing from the access device (or site)
before removing a used cartridge or replacing an infu-
sion set. Never use the pump’s Load Cartridge or Fill
Tubing features while tubing is connected to the patient,
or an unintended dose of medication can be delivered.
If not properly tightened, medication could leak from
the cartridge and tubing connections and disrupt
delivery. Signs of leakage can also mean opportunity for
contamination leading to infection.
Never use Fill Tubing when the infusion set is connected
to the body, or an unintended dose could be delivered.
Always remove all air from the cartridge and infusion
set before starting medication delivery. Air bubbles in
the system can slow or stop medication delivery. Check
all connections carefully for leaks, as leakage can slow or
stop medication delivery to the body, and allow an open-
ing for contamination leading to infection.
