– Once the infusion is nearly finished, the pump displays the “Reservoir volume low” followed by the “Reservoir volume is zero. Pump stopped”.

1- The status bar which indicates whether the pump is working or not. The green color is an indication that the pump is running while red means that the pump has stopped.

3- Infusion settings which are used for displaying the infusion rate (mg/hr) as well as the pain-controlled analgesia (PCA) dose.

The CADD pump is a simple device that is as smaller as the size of a mobile phone, portable, and very easy to use. Its structure, along with its parts and their respective functions, has been detailed as follows:

In medical procedures, the need to deliver a drug over an extended period of time often arises. Pain-relieving analgesics (PCA) as well as chemotherapeutic agents especially become focused when it comes to drug administration at a pre-determined rate. To solve the problem, certain computer-aided drug delivery devices have been designed and marketed, one of which is the CADD pump.

– Switch on the CADD pump by pressing the ‘on/off’ button on the left side of the device. If the whirring sound is heard, it means the pump is in working condition.

The Computerized Ambulatory Delivery Device, abbreviated as CADD pump or CADD-Solis pump, is a portable drug delivery device that is used to administer pain-relieving medications or chemotherapeutic agents to a patient at a pre-determined rate.

– If the pump is set to deliver the drug at a later time, the physician or nurse will set a timer accordingly. In this case, the patient will hear the whirring sound of the drug solution at the pre-set time which indicates the working of the CADD pump.

– The CADD pump is not water-proof so it has to be covered with a plastic bag while bathing. If water enters the pump by any means, it is advised to rub it with a towel and contact your healthcare provider for further instructions or pump replacement.

– Sometimes, the connection between the pump and the patient’s body is blocked. In this case, the pump displays the message “Downstream occlusion. Clear occlusion between pump and patient”. The occlusion should be removed immediately after which the pump should start automatically. If it doesn’t, the problem can be fixed by pressing the “stop/start’ button.

In medical science, it becomes necessary at times to deliver medication over an extended period of time. Multiple devices can be used to fulfill this purpose but one of these devices is the CADD pump which is a portable device. The CADD pump can administer a drug subcutaneously or intrathecally at a pre-set rate and time. Pain-relieving analgesic medications as well as chemotherapeutic agents are frequently administered by this technique.

At Health Supply 770 Inc. speed is key. We take great pride in our ability to quickly prepare quotes, ship, and deliver high-quality medical equipment . Which makes us the ideal destination for all your medical needs.

The CADD pump works once it is attached to the catheter placed inside the patient’s body. It can be placed subcutaneously i.e. under the skin or intrathecally i.e. in the space between the spinal cord and its protective covering. Once connected, the pump is set to deliver the drug solution into the patient’s body at a pre-determined rate over the period of multiple hours to multiple days. The green light at the status bar is an indication that the pump is in working condition and is delivering the drug while if the light turns red or amber with the flash of orange light on the left of the screen, it indicates that the pump has stopped.
