Wireless Function (Communication Module)

When the pump has the optional CADD®-Solis Communication Module installed, its wireless capabilities

allow the pump to communicate to a PharmGuard® Server system (i.e., sending pump data to the server,

receiving pump library updates, and software updates (pump and communication module) from the

server). The communication module also features a built in rechargeable battery to power the pump.

The communication module is recharged while installed in the pump using the pump AC adapter

connected to the pump AC power jack. For installation and additional information, see the CADD®-Solis

Communication Module Operators Manual.

Note: The wireless feature can be turned oﬀ or on without aﬀecting pump delivery. The communication

module is an added feature and not required for normal pump operation. Lack of wireless connection

to an access point does not impact delivery accuracy.

Functionality of the CADD®-Solis Communication Module:

•

PharmGuard® library updates occur without impact to current delivery. The new libraries are eﬀective

upon the next “start new patient” setup.

•

PharmGuard® software downloads occur without impact to current delivery and only take eﬀect

upon the “acceptance” of the new software.

•

The communication module allows the pump to send event history and status to the PharmGuard®

Server. The events match those from the pump event log.

•

Rechargeable battery built into the communication module powers wireless function and pump

delivery (four hours run time) when the AC adapter is not used.

•

Built in Pole Mount adapter. The mounting bracket of the communication module also provides a

built in pole mount bracket.

Heat Reduction Mode:

When the communication module is sending and/or receiving large amounts of data in an operating

environment that is near the higher end of the speciﬁed operating environment temperature range,

wireless functionality may be temporarily limited as a safeguard to prevent overheating. If heat

reduction mode occurs, pump function and delivery accuracy are not impacted, only the wireless

functionality.

If heat reduction mode is active, the pump Wireless Status Indicator will show, - Wireless On, not

associated with wireless access point.

Move the pump and communication module into a cooler area to expedite cooling and resume wireless

functionality.
