Attaching a Cassette
WARNING:
Attach the cassette properly. A detached or improperly attached cassette could result in unregulated
gravity infusion of medication from the reservoir or a reflux of blood, which could result in death or injury
to the patient.
If you are using a CADD
®
administration set or CADD™ medication cassette reservoir that does not
have the Flow Stop feature, you must use a CADD
®
extension set with anti-siphon valve or a CADD
®
administration set with either an integral or add-on anti-siphon valve to protect against unregulated
gravity infusion that can result from an improperly attached cassette. Unregulated gravity infusion can
result in death or serious injury.
Carefully route tubing, cords, and cables to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or
strangulation. Failure to observe this warning could result in patient injury or death.
CAUTION: If you are using a CADD™ medication cassette reservoir in which the medication is frozen, thaw
at room temperature only. Do not heat in a microwave oven as this may damage the product and cause
leakage.
Before attaching a new cassette, make sure the pump is powered on. Once the cassette is attached, the
pump automatically displays screens that allow you to verify the cassette type, prime the fluid path, reset the
reservoir volume, review pump settings, and/or start the pump.
To attach the cassette to the pump:
1. Obtain a new, filled CADD™ medication cassette reservoir, or CADD
®
administration set attached to a
flexible IV bag. Refer to the instructions for use supplied with the product for information on preparing
the product for use.
2. Clamp the tubing.
3. Make sure the cassette latch is unlocked and open the cassette latch.
4. Insert the cassette hooks into the
hinge pins on the bottom of the pump.
5. Without holding the cassette latch:
Push up on the cassette until it firmly clicks into place.
-OR-
Place the pump upright on a firm, flat surface,
and then press down on the latch side of the
pump until the cassette firmly clicks into place.
