Power Up
Press and hold the power switch to turn the pump on. The pump starts the power up sequence during which it
performs various self-tests and tests for alarm conditions. Watch for the following during power-up:
• Both the green and amber indicator lights flash.
• The display quickly flashes gray, then blue. An amber swirl then fills the display, followed by a
CADD
®
-Solis Ambulatory Infusion System display. Look for any stripes or black or white pixels, which
would indicate a faulty display. If you see any indication of a faulty display, remove the pump from
service and contact Smiths Medical Customer Service.
• After the power up is completed, listen for the Morse Code “OK” sound (a series of six audible beeps).
If you do not hear this sound, there may be a problem with the audible alarms. If you believe there is a
problem, remove the pump from service and contact Smiths Medical Customer Service.
• If any issues are found while the pump is performing the self tests, alarms will sound (for example, if
the battery is low or a key on the keypad is stuck in the pressed position).
CAUTION: If the power up results in an error message indicating that the protocol library was lost, do not
proceed with using the pump. Follow your facility’s procedures for downloading protocol libraries.
Power Down
Press the power switch to turn the pump off. You must acknowledge the “Power down?” prompt by selecting
Yes. The pump then powers down.
Be aware of the following conditions when the pump is powered down:
• The display is blank.
• Keypad presses are not detected.
• The remote dose cord does not function.
• Medication is not infused.
• Alarm conditions are not sensed.
• Audio alarms do not sound.
• Visual alarms are not displayed.
• Communication with PharmGuard® Medication Safety Software or PharmGuard® Server is not possible.
• If the AC adapter is plugged in, the blue AC power light is on. No other lights are lit.
• The internal battery used to retain time and date does not charge.
• If the pump is connected to AC power and a rechargeable battery pack or a CADD®-Solis
Communication module (with integrated battery pack) is installed, the battery continues to charge.
Software Updates
If the pump is equipped with a CADD®-Solis Communication Module and is in communication with
PharmGuard® Server, the following may occur before the pump powers down:
• A screen appears briefly to advise you that pump data is being sent to
PharmGuard® Server.
• If a software update has been sent to the pump by the PharmGuard® Server
administrator, a screen notifies you and you are given the option to accept
the update.
Upon selecting Yes to accept the update, and confirming security
measures (see Security Settings on page 28), it is installed and the
pump powers down. If you select No, the update is not installed and the
pump powers down (you will be given the option again to update the
pump the next time it is powered down). For more information, contact
your PharmGuard® Server system administrator.
