General Description
Upstream Occlusion Sensor
The pump contains an upstream occlusion sensor. This feature may be turned on or off (for more information,
see the Administrator Settings Guide). When an upstream occlusion (between the pump and the reservoir)
is detected, an alarm sounds, delivery stops, and the display shows “Upstream occlusion. Clear occlusion
between pump and reservoir.”
WARNING: When the upstream occlusion sensor is turned off, the pump does not detect occlusions upstream
between the pump and the reservoir. Periodic inspection of the fluid path for kinks, a closed clamp,
or other upstream obstructions is recommended. Upstream occlusions may result in underdelivery of
medication. If undetected, these occlusions could lead to death or serious injury to the patient.
Pump Accessories
CAUTION: Use only Smiths Medical accessories that are specified for use with the CADD
®
-Solis Ambulatory
Infusion Pump, as other brands may adversely affect pump operation.
CADD
®
-Solis accessories may be obtained through the Customer Service department at Smiths Medical.
For detailed instructions and warnings applicable to each accessory, refer to the instructions for use
provided with the product. The Pump Diagram on page 14 illustrates the location of ports, jacks, latches, and
compartments used with the accessories.
AC Adapter
The AC adapter can be used as an alternate source of power for the pump and/
or to recharge the rechargeable battery pack or CADD®-Solis Communication
Module with integrated rechargeable battery. The pump requires that 4 AA
batteries, rechargeable battery pack, or CADD®-Solis Communication Module
with integrated rechargeable battery are installed as a backup while using the AC
adapter.
Access to the AC adapter power cords should not be blocked at the AC adapter
and at the pump connector so they can be easily disconnected.
Rechargeable Battery Pack
The rechargeable battery pack is an alternative to using four AA batteries. The
rechargeable battery pack can be recharged with the AC adapter, either inside or outside
of the pump.
CADD®-Solis Communication Module
(Models 2130 and 2131)
The CADD®-Solis Communication Module
(optional, contact Smiths Medical for availability)
adds wireless features to the pump, allowing the
pump to communicate with PharmGuard® Server.
With the communication module installed the
pump can send event history and receive pump
firmware and library updates from the server
wirelessly.
The communication module is securely installed
in the battery compartment of the pump and
includes an integrated rechargeable battery
that powers the pump and module. The rechargeable battery is charged via the CADD®-Solis AC Adapter
connection to the pump.
If necessary, the pump operator can turn off wireless capabilities of the communication module while still
providing power to the pump and without affecting any of the pump’s clinical operations.
When installed, the wireless capabilities of the module may be turned on or off via the pump menus (see Turn
Wireless On/Off on page 38).
