Description / Corrective Action
Cannot start pump
without a battery.
Medium The pump does not have any batteries installed. To start delivery,
good batteries must always be installed even when an external
source of power is connected. Select Acknowledge to clear the
alarm. Install 4 new AA batteries, rechargeable battery pack, or the
CADD®-Solis Communication Module with integrated rechargeable
battery. If appropriate, start the pump.
Cannot start
pump without a
latched and locked
cassette.
Medium The pump will not start without a cassette attached. Select
Acknowledge to clear the alarm. Make sure a cassette is properly
attached, then start the pump.
Note: This alarm has associated help screens.
Cassette detached.
Pump stopped.
High The cassette was detached while the pump was delivering and
the pump is now stopped. Select Acknowledge to clear the alarm.
Reattach the cassette and, if appropriate, restart the pump.
Cassette locked,
but not latched.
Unlock and
reattach the
cassette.
High The cassette/keypad lock is locked, but there is no cassette attached.
The pump is stopped and will not run. Select Acknowledge to
clear the alarm. Unlock the cassette/keypad lock and reattach the
cassette.
Cassette not
attached properly.
Reattach cassette.
High The pump detects the cassette is not properly attached. Close the
tubing and remove the cassette, then reattach. If the alarm persists,
replace the cassette.
Note: You must remove the cassette to continue.
Cassette unlocked.
Lock cassette.
Medium This is a reminder that the cassette is not locked while the pump is
delivering. If this alarm is sounding, lock the cassette to clear it.
Cassette was
partially unlatched.
Fully remove
and reattach the
cassette.
Medium The cassette was not completely removed from the pump before it
was reattached and the pump’s sensors are not able to detect the
cassette type. Remove the cassette and reattach it, then verify the
cassette type in the pump display. If this alarm persists, replace the
cassette.
Note: You must remove the cassette to continue.
Check for empty
tubing or reservoir.
Pump stopped.
High The tubing beneath the pump may not contain fluid, or the fluid
container may be empty. The pump is stopped and will not run.
Select Acknowledge to clear the alarm. Check whether the fluid
container is empty; or clamp the tubing, remove the cassette, and
check for air in the tubing. If the alarm persists after trying the above,
the pump’s pressure sensor is faulty. Remove the pump from service
and contact Smiths Medical Customer Service.
Current settings
require high
volume set.
Change cassette.
High The delivery-specific parameters are programmed to values that
cause the maximum delivery rate to exceed 250 mL/hr, which
requires a high volume administration set. The pump is stopped
and will not run. Replace the standard volume cassette with a high
volume administration set to continue.
Note: Do not manually adjust the delivery rate to override pump
programming without written authorization from the prescribing
physician.
