ii

Read this entire OperatorÕs Manual before operating the CADD-Legacyª ambulatory infusion pump.

Failure to properly follow warnings, cautions, and instructions could result in death or serious injury to the patient.

Warnings

This Operator’s Manual should be used by clinicians only. Do not permit patients to have access to this manual, as the information contained would allow the patient complete access to all programming and operating functions. Improper programming could result in death or serious injury to the patient.

For those patients who are likely to be adversely affected by unintended operations and failures, including interrupted medication or fluid delivery from the device, close supervision and provision for immediate corrective action should be provided.

If the pump is used to deliver life-sustaining medication, an additional pump must be available.

The pump is not to be used for delivery of blood or cellular blood products.

If the pump is dropped or hit, inspect the pump for damage. Do not use a pump that is damaged or is not functioning properly. Contact Customer Service to return a pump for service.

Use of a syringe with the CADD® Administration Set may result in UNDER-DELIVERY of medication. Syringe function can be adversely affected by variations in plunger dimension and lubricity, which can result in greater force required to move the syringe plunger. A syringe plunger will lose lubrication as it ages and, as a result, the amount of under-delivery will increase which could on occasion, be significant. Therefore, the type of medication and delivery accuracy required must be considered when using a syringe with the CADD® pump.

Clinicians must regularly compare the volume remaining in the

iii

syringe to the pump’s displayed values such as RES VOL and GIVEN in order to determine whether under-delivery of medication is occurring and if necessary, take appropriate action.

System delivery inaccuracies may occur as a result of back pressure or fluid resistance, which depends upon drug viscosity, catheter size, and extension set tubing (for example, microbore tubing).

Do not administer drugs to the epidural space or subarachnoid space unless the drug is indicated for administration to those spaces.

To prevent infusion of drugs that are not indicated for epidural space or subarachnoid space infusion, do not use administration sets that incorporate injection sites.

If a Medication CassetteReservoir, CADD® Extension Set or CADD® Administration Set is used for drug delivery into the epidural or subarachnoid space, clearly differentiate them from those used for other routes of infusion, for example, by color coding, or other means of identification.

When the Air Detector is turned off, the pump will not detect air in the fluid path. Periodically inspect the fluid path and remove any air to prevent air embolism.

You must use a CADD® Extension Set with an 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.

When the Upstream Occlusion Sensor is turned off, the pump will not detect occlusions upstream (between pump and fluid container). Periodically inspect the fluid container for decreasing volume, inspect the fluid path for kinks, a closed clamp, or other upstream obstructions. Upstream occlusions could result in underor non-delivery of medications.

iv

Do not disclose to the patient the pump’s security codes or any other information that would allow the patient complete access to all programming and operating functions.

Do not use rechargeable NiCad or nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Do not use carbon zinc (“heavy duty”) batteries. They do not provide sufficient power for the pump to operate properly.

Always have new batteries available for replacement. If power is lost, non-delivery of drug will occur.

If the pump is dropped or hit, the battery door tabs may break. Do not use the pump if the battery door or tabs are damaged because the batteries will not be properly secured; this may result in loss of power and non-delivery of drug.

If a gap is present anywhere between the battery door and the pump housing, the door is not properly latched. If the battery door becomes detached or loose, the batteries will not be properly secured; this could result in loss of power and nondelivery of drug.

Close the fluid path tubing with the clamp before removing the cassette from the pump to prevent unregulated gravity infusion.

For detailed instructions and warnings pertaining to Medication CassetteReservoir or CADD® Administration Sets, please refer to the instructions supplied with those products.

Frozen medication must be thawed at room temperature only. Do not heat the Medication CassetteReservoir in a microwave oven as this may damage the medication, the Medication CassetteReservoir, or cause leakage.

Attach the cassette (the part of the Medication CassetteReservoir or CADD® Administration Set that attaches to the pump) properly. An improperly attached or detached cassette could result in unregulated gravity infusion of medication from the fluid container or a reflux of blood.

v

Do not prime the fluid path with the tubing connected to a patient as this could result in overdelivery of medication or air embolism.

Ensure that the entire fluid path is free of all air bubbles before connecting to the patient to prevent air embolism.

Prior to starting infusion, inspect the fluid path for kinks, a closed clamp, or other upstream obstructions, and remove any air to prevent air embolism.

Cautions

Do not operate the pump at temperatures below +2°C (36°F) or above 40°C (104°F).

Do not store the pump at temperatures below -20°C (-4°F) or above 60°C (140°F). Do not store the pump with the Medication CassetteReservoir or CADD® Administration Set attached. Use the Protective Cassette provided.

Do not expose the pump to humidity levels below 20% or above 90% relative humidity.

Do not store the pump for prolonged periods with the batteries installed.

Do not immerse the pump in cleaning fluid or water or allow solution to soak into the pump, accumulate on the keypad, or enter the battery compartment.

Do not clean the pump with acetone, other plastic solvents, or abrasive cleaners.

Do not expose the pump to therapeutic levels of ionizing radiation.

Do not expose the pump directly to ultrasound.

vi

Do not use the pump in the vicinity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment.

Do not use the pump near ECG equipment.

Do not sterilize the pump.

Do not use the pump in the presence of flammable anesthetics or explosive gases.

Use only Deltec accessories as using other brands may adversely affect the operation of the pump.

CADD-Legacy pumps are sealed units. A broken or damaged seal will, therefore, be considered conclusive evidence that the pump has been misused and/or altered, which voids any and all warranties. All service and repair of CADD-Legacy pumps must be performed by Deltec or its authorized agents.

Check appropriate medication stability for time and temperature to assure stability with actual pump delivery conditions.

The Intermittent Delivery Mode (IDM) delivers a specified dose volume over a specified duration. You may repeat the dose in a cycle of up to 96 hours. The KVO feature allows you to deliver a minimal amount of drug between doses to maintain catheter patency. You may also delay the start of dose delivery using the “Dose Starts In” feature.
