Read this entire Operator’s Manual before operating the CADD-Prizm®VIP
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 prod-
ucts.
• 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 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 neces-
sary, 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 those spaces.
• To prevent the 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 Cassette Reservoir, CADD™Extension Set or CADD™
Administration Set is used for epidural space or subarachnoid space drug
delivery, it is strongly recommended that it be clearly differentiated from
those used for other routes of infusion, for example, by color coding, or
other means of identification.
• When the Air Detector is not installed, or is installed but turned off, the
pump will not detect air in the fluid path. It is recommended that you
periodically inspect the fluid path and remove any air to prevent air
embolism.
• Follow the Instructions for Use provided with the Medication Cassette
Reservoir and CADD™Extension Set, or the CADD™Administration
Set, paying particular attention to all warnings and cautions associated
with their use.
• When the Upstream Occlusion Sensor is turned Off, the pump will not
detect occlusions upstream (between pump and fluid container). It is
recommended that you periodically inspect the fluid path for kinks, a
closed clamp, or other upstream obstructions. Upstream occlusions may
result in under- or non-delivery of medications.
• Do not disclose to the patient the pump’s security codes or any other
information that would allow the patient complete access to all program-
ming and operating functions.
• Ensure that the ±6% System Delivery Accuracy specification is taken into
account when programming the pump and/or filling the Medication
Cassette Reservoir. Failure to do so may result in medication in the reser-
voir becoming depleted sooner than expected.
• 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.
iv

• There is no pump alarm to alert users that a battery has not been properly
installed or has become dislodged. An improperly installed or dislodged
battery could result in loss of power and non-delivery of drug.
• If the pump is dropped or hit, the battery door may become broken or
damaged. Do not use the pump if the battery door is damaged because the
battery will not be properly secured; this may result in loss of power or
non-delivery of drug.
• When you enter a new Demand Dose Lockout time, any lockout time in
effect will be cleared. A Demand Dose could be requested and delivered
immediately upon starting the pump, resulting in over-delivery.
• When you enter a new Max Doses per Hour value, any lockout time in
effect will be cleared. A Demand Dose could be requested and delivered
immediately upon starting the pump, resulting in over-delivery.
• Exercise care when using the Clinician Bolus function. Since there are no
limits on the frequency of delivering a bolus, and since the amount of the
bolus can be set as high as 20 ml (or the mg or mcg equivalent), you
should not permit the patient to become familiar with the procedure for
giving a Clinician Bolus.
• To prevent the patient from accessing the Clinician Bolus function, do not
let the patient know the Clinician Bolus code.
• Always close the fluid path tubing with the clamp before removing the
cassette from the pump to prevent unregulated gravity infusion.
• Attach the cassette properly. A detached or improperly attached cassette
could result in unregulated gravity infusion of medication from the fluid
container or a reflux of blood.
If you are using a Deltec administration set medication cassette reservoir
that does not have the flow stop feature (reorder number does not start
with 21-73xx): 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.
• Do not prime the fluid path with the tubing connected to a patient as this -
could result in over-delivery 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.
v

• If Demand Doses are currently locked out, changing the Date and/or Time
will cancel the lockout period. This will allow a Demand Dose to be
requested and delivered as soon as you restart the pump, resulting in over-
delivery.
vi
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 a Medication Cassette Reservoir or
CADD™Administration Set attached.
• Do not expose the pump to humidity levels below 10% or above 90%
relative humidity.
• Do not store the pump for prolonged periods with the battery installed.
Battery leakage could damage the pump.
• If you are using a 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.
• Do not immerse the pump in cleaning fluid or water. Do not allow solu-
tion to soak into the pump, accumulate on the keypad, or enter the battery
compartment, Data In/Out jack, Power jack or Air Detector port area.
Moisture build-up inside the pump may damage the pump.
• Do not clean the pump with acetone, other plastic solvents, or abrasive
cleaners, as damage to the pump may occur.
• Do not expose the pump to therapeutic levels of ionizing radiation as
permanent damage to the pump’s electronic circuitry may occur. The best
procedure to follow is to remove the pump from the patient during thera-
peutic radiation sessions. If the pump must remain in the vicinity during a
therapy session, it should be shielded, and its ability to function properly
should be confirmed following treatment.
• Do not expose the pump directly to ultrasound, as permanent damage to
the pump’s electronic circuitry may occur.
• Do not use the pump in the vicinity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
equipment as magnetic fields may adversely affect the operation of the
pump. Remove the pump from the patient during MRI procedures and
keep it at a safe distance from magnetic energy.

• Do not use the pump near ECG equipment as the pump may interfere with
the operation of the equipment. Monitor ECG equipment carefully when
using this pump.
• Do not sterilize the pump.
• Do not use the pump in the presence of flammable anesthetics or explosive
gases.
• Use only Smiths Medical MD accessories as using other brands may
adversely affect the operation of the pump.
• Check appropriate medication stability for time and temperature to assure
stability with actual pump delivery conditions.

Section 1: General Description
Section 1: General Description and Basic Operations
Introduction
The CADD-Prizm®ambulatory infusion pump provides measured drug therapy
to patients in hospital or outpatient settings. Therapy should always be over-
seen by a physician or a certified, licensed healthcare professional. As appropri-
ate, the patient should be instructed in using the pump.
Indications
The CADD-Prizm®pump is indicated for intravenous, intra-arterial, subcutane-
ous, intraperitoneal, epidural space, or subarachnoid space infusion.
PCA (Patient-Controlled Analgesia) delivery is used for therapies that require a
continuous rate of infusion, patient-controlled demand doses, or both, such as
patient-controlled analgesia.
Continuous delivery allows the infusion of drug at a constant, programmed
rate.
TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition) delivery allows the infusion of nutritional
solutions or other fluids, with optional tapering at the beginning and end of
infusion.
Intermittent delivery allows the infusion of a specific volume of drug at a
regular, programmed interval.
Epidural/Subarachnoid Administration
The selected drug must be used in accordance with the indications included in
the package insert accompanying the drug. Administration of any drug by this
pump is limited by any warnings, precautions, or contraindications in the drug
labeling.
Analgesics
Administration of analgesics to the epidural space is limited to use with ind-
welling catheters specifically indicated for either short- or long-term drug
delivery.

2
General
Description
Section 1: General Description
Administration of analgesics to the subarachnoid space is limited to use with
indwelling catheters specifically indicated for short-term drug delivery.
Anesthetics
Administration of anesthetics to the epidural space is limited to use with
indwelling catheters specifically indicated for short-term drug delivery.
WARNING:
• Do not administer drugs to the epidural space or subarachnoid space unless
the drug is indicated for administration to those spaces. Drugs not intended
for epidural or subarachnoid space infusion could result in death or serious
injury to the patient.
• To prevent the infusion of drugs that are not indicated for epidural space or
subarachnoid space infusion, DO NOT use administration sets that incor-
porate injection sites. The inadvertent use of injection sites for infusion of
such drugs may cause death or serious injury to the patient.
• If a Medication Cassette Reservoir, CADD™Extension Set or CADD™
Administration Set is used for epidural space or subarachnoid space drug
delivery, it is strongly recommended that it be clearly differentiated from
those used for other routes of infusion, for example, by color coding, or
other means of identification. Drugs not intended for epidural or subarach-
noid space infusion could result in death or serious injury to the patient.

Description of Keys, Display and Features
Indicator Lights
Green: The green light blinks approximately every 3 seconds when the pump is
running and delivering fluid as programmed.
Amber: The amber light flashes when the pump is stopped or an alarm condi-
tion exists. It stays on continuously when the pump is inoperable. The
display briefly describes the condition.
If both lights blink, delivery is still occurring but a condition exists of which you
should be aware (for example, a low battery). Look at the display for a brief
description of the condition.
Display with backlighting
The liquid crystal display (LCD) shows programming information and mes-
sages. Backlighting helps keep the display visible in low light.
After a period of no key presses, backlighting turns off and the display blanks
to save battery power (except during an alarm or when an external power
source is in use). Press any key to turn the display back on.
NOTE: If you press ⁄, the display will reappear with a message asking if
you wish to start or stop the pump; press ´or Î. Do not use Íto turn
the display back on; this may deliver an inadvertent dose.
Keypad
The keys on the keypad are described below. A key beeps when pressed if it is
operable in the current lock level.
⁄starts and stops pump delivery.
Œis used to view or change the pump’s current lock level. Lock levels

General
Description
Section 1: General Description
WARNING: When the Air Detector is not installed, or is installed but turned
off, the pump will not detect air in the fluid path. It is recommended that you
periodically inspect the fluid path and remove any air to prevent air embolism.
Air embolism could result in death or serious injury to the patient.
Cassette
The cassette is the portion of the Medication Cassette Reservoir or CADD™
Administration Set that attaches to the bottom of the pump. The following
single use products are compatible with the CADD-Prizm®pump:
• Medication Cassette Reservoir (50 or 100 ml), used with a CADD™
Extension Set
• CADD™Administration Set
• CADD-Prizm™High Volume Administration Set, for rates up to 350 ml/hr
(not for use in PCA mode)
WARNING: Follow the Instructions for Use provided with the Medication
Cassette Reservoir and CADD™Extension Set, or the CADD™Administra-
tion Set, paying particular attention to all warnings and cautions associated
with their use. Incorrect preparation and/or use of these products could
result in serious patient injury or death.
Polemount Bracket recess
The optional Polemount Bracket slides into the recess on the back of the pump,
allowing you to attach the pump to an IV pole.
Battery compartment
The 9 volt battery fits into this compartment. The 9 volt battery serves as the
primary source of power, or as a backup when an EPS System power pack or
AC Adapter is in use.
Cassette latch
This attaches the cassette (the part of the Medication Cassette Reservoir or
CADD™Administration Set that attaches to the pump) to the pump. The pump
detects whether the cassette is latched properly. Delivery will stop and an alarm
will occur if the cassette becomes unlatched.
Cassette lock

7
General
Description
Section 1: General Description
This allows you to secure the cassette to the pump using the key provided. The
cassette must be latched before it can be locked. In the PCA delivery mode, the
cassette must be locked onto the pump or the pump will not run.
Downstream Occlusion Sensor (Not Shown)
The pump contains a downstream occlusion sensor. When a downstream
occlusion (between pump and patient) is detected, an alarm will sound, deliv-
ery will stop, and the display will show “High Pressure.”
Upstream Occlusion Sensor (Model 6101 only; Not Shown)
The pump contains an upstream occlusion sensor. This feature may be turned
on or off (see Section 5, Biomed Toolbox). When the sensor is turned on, and
an upstream occlusion (between pump and fluid container) is detected, an
alarm will sound, delivery will stop, and the display will show “Upstream
Occlusion.”
WARNING: When the Upstream Occlusion Sensor is turned off, the pump will
not detect occlusions upstream (between pump and fluid container). It is
recommended that you periodically inspect the fluid path for kinks, a closed
clamp, or other upstream obstructions. Upstream obstructions may result in
under- or non-delivery of medications to the patient. If undetected, these
occlusions could lead to death or serious injury to the patient.
Reservoir Volume Alarm (Not Shown)
Reservoir Volume is a feature that indicates when the fluid in the fluid con-
tainer is low or depleted. Each time you change the fluid container, you may
reset the Reservoir Volume to the originally programmed volume. Then, as
medication is delivered, the Reservoir Volume automatically decreases.
Medication Cassette Reservoir or CADD™Administration Set: When the
pump calculates that 5 ml remain in the fluid container and a “Reservoir
Volume Low” message appears. This alarm recurs at every subsequent decrease
of 1 ml until the Reservoir Volume reaches 0 ml, at which point the pump
stops.
CADD-Prizm™High Volume Administration Set: When the pump calculates
that 25 ml remain in the fluid container, beeps sound and “Reservoir Volume
Low” appears. This alarm recurs at every subsequent decrease of 5 ml until the
Reservoir Volume reaches 0 ml, at which point the pump stops.

Section 1: General Description
Lock Levels
Lock levels are used to limit patient access to certain programming and operat-
ing functions. The table on the next page lists the functions that are accessible
in Lock Level 0 (LL0), Lock Level 1 (LL1), and Lock Level 2 (LL2). When a
function is accessible, the key associated with the function beeps when pressed.
If a function is not accessible, the pump ignores the key press and a beep does
not sound. Section 2, Pump Setup and Programming, describes how to change
the lock level.
AutoLock
AutoLock is one of the Options. This feature automatically changes the lock
level from LL0 to LL1 or LL2 when the pump is started (instead of requiring
you to manually change the lock level before giving the pump to the patient).
See Section 4 for more information on using AutoLock.
Security Codes
The following security codes are preset by the manufacturer for the clinician’s
use:
** Text Omitted from Online Version **
WARNING: Do not disclose to the patient the pump’s security codes or any
other information that would allow the patient complete access to all program-
ming and operating functions. Improper programming could result in death or
serious injury to the patient.
Customizing the Security Codes
If it becomes necessary to change the Lock Level Code, Access Code, and
Biomed Toolbox Code to ensure that a patient will be unable to access these
features, you may customize the Lock Level Code in the Biomed Toolbox. (See
Section 5.) Customizing the Lock Level Code will not affect the Clinician Bolus
Code.
