Description of the CADD®-Solis VIP Pump
The CADD®-Solis VIP ambulatory infusion pump provides measured drug therapy
to patients in hospital or outpatient settings. Therapy should always be overseen
by a physician or a certified, licensed healthcare professional. As appropriate, the
caregiver and patient should be instructed in using the pump.
INDICATIONS
The CADD®-Solis VIP ambulatory infusion pump is indicated for intravenous,
intra-arterial, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, perineural, surgical site, 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/fluid at a constant,
programmed rate
• Intermittent delivery allows
the infusion of a specific volume
of drug/fluid at a regular,
programmed interval
• Step delivery allows an incremental
increase in infusion rate to a
specified maximum infusion rate
for a specified total infusion volume
• Taper delivery allows a plateau
rate of infusion with the option of
tapering at the beginning and/or
end and has a programmable KVO
rate at the end of the infusion

SECURITY SETTINGS
Security settings are used to limit
patient and unauthorized access to
certain programming and operating
functions of the pump. Pump functions
are protected by three different security
codes that can be customized.
Keypad Code - The keypad code is
for clinicians who need to modify and
review patient-specific parameters
and manage air and occlusion
parameter settings.
Clinician Code - The clinician code
allows access to all the functions the
keypad code allows. In addition, it
allows users to modify most advanced
task settings, format the time and
date, change delayed start and
priming security options, and select
new protocols.
Administrator Code - The administrator
code allows access to all pump
functions and allows users to change
protocol ranges for delivery settings,
reset the pump to factory defaults,
and select manual mode protocols.

Autolock
The autolock feature reduces the
chance of unauthorized pump
programming. When the keypad is
unlocked with a security code and left
unlocked, the software automatically
locks the keypad. When the pump is on
the home screen, the autolock feature
takes effect 30 seconds after the last
key press. Autolock takes longer on
programming or task screens when you
typically need more time to perform
an action. Depending on which screen
was on the pump last, and if the pump
is not alarming, it can take up to four
minutes after the last key press before
the pump reverts to the home screen
and autolocks immediately. When the
pump is alarming, autolock does not
take effect.
Note: The keypad can be re-locked by
pushing the right soft key twice
from the home screen or once from
the Tasks or Advanced Tasks menu.
As a recommended safety precaution,
always manually lock the pump using
this feature.
Entering Security Codes
Press ▲or ▼to scroll to the correct
digit. Press Select or Accept Value
to advance to the next digit. Once the
complete code has been entered, press
Select or Accept Value.
If an incorrect code is entered, a wrong
code error appears. Select Retry to
enter the code again.
Note: If you enter a code that you
believe is correct and receive a wrong
code message, check the screen to see
if the code has been customized.
Depending on the level of security
required and how the security settings
have been programmed, you may
be able to use the pump key to unlock
the keypad. To unlock the keypad
with the pump key, turn the
key counterclockwise.

PCA DELIVERY MODE
PCA (patient-controlled analgesia)
delivery is used for therapies that
require a continuous rate of infusion,
patient-controlled demand doses,
and/or a clinician-activated bolus.
The delivery methods available are:
• Continuous rate
• PCA dose, a demand dose activated
by the patient
• Clinician bolus, a dose activated by
the clinician
Home Screen
The delivery mode and status of the
infusion are indicated on the home
screen with messages appearing in
text, a graphic in a shape unique to
the therapy, and with the colors
green, red, and grey.
Examples specific to the PCA delivery
mode are:
• The pump is stopped with a
programmed delayed start
• The pump is running and delivering
at a continuous rate
• The pump is running and delivering
a PCA bolus

Clinician Guidep. 16
Programming Screens
• Continuous Rate
The desired continuous rate of
medication delivery
• PCA Dose
The amount of drug delivered when
the patient requests a PCA dose by
either pressing the PCA dose key or
using the remote dose cord button.
The PCA dose key on the pump is
inactive when the remote dose cord
is connected to the pump
• PCA Lockout
The minimum time that must
elapse between the time one PCA
dose starts and the time that the
next PCA dose is available
• Delivery Limit
Restricts the amount of drug
delivered to the patient within
a specified time frame. The
programmable range is 1 hour
to 12 hours. The limit includes the
continuous rate and PCA doses, but
does not include clinician boluses
• Max Doses/Hr
The maximum number of PCA
doses allowed in a one-hour period.
The frequency of available doses
is limited by the programmed PCA
lockout time. If the PCA Lockout is
one hour or greater, this setting will
not appear in the menu
• KVO Rate
The KVO or “keep vein open”
rate is calculated by the pump. It
allows the delivery of a minimal
amount of drug to help maintain
catheter patency. If a continuous
rate is programmed, it will display
as 0.1 mL/hr (or the mg or mcg
equivalent). If no continuous rate
is programmed, the KVO rate will
display 0 mL/hr (or the mg or
mcg equivalent). If a delayed start
is programmed, the KVO rate is
active until the infusion begins. If a
delivery limit is programmed, the
KVO rate is active when the delivery
limit is reached
• Reservoir Volume
The volume of fluid contained in
the reservoir. The reservoir volume
value decreases as the pump is
primed or delivers fluid
• Start Time
The time the next infusion will
begin. It is displayed only if the
delayed start is programmed.
The pump must be running on
the selected date and time in
order for the infusion to begin

CADD®-Solis VIP Pump p. 17
Giving a Clinician Bolus
A clinician bolus may be delivered only
when the pump is running. It allows
delivery of a specific amount of drug,
such as a loading dose. A clinician
bolus cannot be started while a PCA
dose is in progress. The clinician bolus
increases the given amount, but does
not add to the dose counters or to the
delivery limit. A clinician bolus may be
stopped in progress.
Note: The maximum clinician bolus
may be limited by the settings in the
protocol, which is determined by the
CADD®-Solis system administrator.
To start a clinician bolus:
1. Make sure the pump is running
2. From the View Advanced
Tasks menu, press ▲or ▼
to highlight Give Clinician
Bolus and press Select

the clinician bolus. Select Deliver
5. If you enter a value outside the soft
limit, a screen appears asking you
to confirm the soft limit override.
Select Confirm to deliver the bolus
6. The screen shows the decreasing
amount as the bolus is delivered.
You may stop the bolus at any time
by selecting Stop Bolus
7. When the bolus has been delivered,
the screen says, “Clinician bolus
complete.” Select OK
Start a PCA Dose
If a PCA dose is programmed, the
patient may start a PCA dose while the
pump is running. The amount delivered
is added to the amount provided by
the continuous rate. Each time the
patient requests a PCA dose, the pump
automatically adds it to the Given and
PCA Dose Counters report.
The remote dose cord can be attached
to the pump and provided to the patient
as an alternative to pushing the PCA
dose key when requesting a PCA dose.
The LED on the remote dose cord
indicates PCA dose status:
• Off: A PCA dose is not available
• Flashing: A PCA dose is available
• On: A PCA dose has been requested
and delivery has started
Notes:
• A PCA dose cannot be started while
another PCA dose or a clinician
bolus is in progress
• The PCA dose key on the pump is
inactive when the remote dose cord
is connected to the pump
• If the display has automatically
blanked, pressing the PCA dose
key turns the display back on and
delivers a PCA dose, if available

Clinician Guidep. 18
To Start a PCA Dose:
Press the PCA dose key on the pump
or the remote dose cord. If a dose is
available, it will start infusing.
Stopping a Clinician Bolus or PCA Dose
To Stop a Clinician Bolus:

CONTINUOUS DELIVERY MODE
Continuous delivery allows the
infusion of drug fluid at a constant,
programmed rate.
Home Screen
The delivery mode and status of the
infusion are indicated on the home
screen with messages appearing in
text, a graphic in a shape unique to
the therapy, and with the colors green,
red, and grey.
Examples specific to the continuous
delivery mode are:
• The pump is running with a
programmed delayed start
• The pump is stopped. It will
deliver at a continuous rate
once it is started
Programming Screens
• Continuous Rate
The desired continuous rate of
medication delivery. Rates above
250 mL/hr require a CADD®high
volume administration set
• KVO Rate
The KVO or “keep vein open” rate
is optional. It allows the delivery
of a minimal amount of drug to
help maintain catheter patency. If
a KVO rate is programmed, it will
only be active if a delayed start
is programmed. The pump will
infuse at the KVO rate until the
programmed infusion begins
• Reservoir Volume
The volume of fluid contained in
the reservoir. The reservoir volume
value decreases as the pump is
primed or delivers fluid
• Start Time
The time the next infusion will
begin. It is displayed only if the
delayed start is programmed.
The pump must be running on
the selected date and time in order
for the infusion to begin

CADD®-Solis VIP Pump p. 19
INTERMITTENT DELIVERY MODE
Intermittent delivery allows the
infusion of a specific volume of drug
at a regular, programmed interval and
over a specified duration. A dose may
be repeated in a cycle up to 96 hours.
Home Screen
The delivery mode and status of the
infusion are indicated on the home
screen with messages appearing in
text, a graphic in a shape unique to
the therapy, and with the colors
green, red, and grey.
Examples specific to the intermittent
delivery mode are:
• The pump is running with a
manually programmed next
dose start time
• The pump is running and
delivering a dose
• The pump is stopped between
doses while at the KVO rate
Programming Screens
• Dose Volume
The volume of the dose cannot be
programmed to a value that would
cause the rate of delivery for the
programmed dose duration to
exceed the dose rate maximum of
500 mL/hr. Therefore, programming
the dose volume may result in
the automatic lengthening of the
dose duration to accommodate the
maximum dose rate
• Dose Duration
The length of time required to
deliver the dose. The dose duration
cannot be programmed to a value
that would cause the rate of delivery
for the programmed dose volume
to exceed the maximum dose rate
of 500 mL/hr
• Dose Cycle
The time from the start of one dose
to the start of the next dose. The
programmable values for the dose
cycle are dependent on the dose
duration. There must be at least
five minutes between the end of
one dose and the start of the next
dose. Therefore, the minimum
programmable cycle is the dose
duration plus five minutes

• Dose Rate
This setting is for review only and
shows the rate at which the dose is
delivered based on the programmed
dose volume and dose duration.
The maximum allowable rate is
500 mL/hr. Rates above 250 mL/
hr require a CADD®high volume
administration set
• Next Dose
The time the next dose is scheduled
to begin. The pump must be
running on the selected date
and time in order for the dose to
begin. The next dose time can be
programmed at any time to delay
the start of the next dose, but if a
dose is in progress, this cancels the
remainder of the dose
• KVO Rate
The KVO or “keep vein open” rate
is optional. It allows the delivery of
a minimal amount of drug to help
maintain catheter patency. The KVO
rate is active between doses or until
a dose begins if the next dose start
time has been set to a value other
than “immediate”
• Reservoir Volume
The volume of fluid contained in
the reservoir. The reservoir volume
value decreases as the pump is
primed or delivers fluid
• Stopping the Pump
During an Infusion
Stopping the pump between doses
does not affect the start time of
subsequent doses. Stopping the
pump while a dose is in progress
shifts all subsequent doses by the
amount of time the pump is stopped
• Resuming the Dose
To resume delivery of a dose
stopped in progress, simply
restart the pump by pressing
stop/start
• Resetting the Cycle
To reset the cycle, stop the pump
between doses, and reprogram
the next dose start time. When a
dose is stopped in progress, the
“Interrupted” screen appears. To
cancel the current dose and reset
the cycle, reprogram the next dose
start time through the Tasks menu.
The next cycle will start at the time
you select
