CADD Solis™ Ambulatory Pain Management System

1. Overview
The CADD-Solis pump is a compact, portable ambulatory infusion system designed for flexible pain management and infusion therapy. It supports multiple infusion modes and is suitable for use in hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, or home care settings. It aims to deliver precise, programmable medication therapy while allowing patient mobility and convenience.

2. Delivery Methods & Therapy Versatility
-Continuous rate infusion (steady, constant delivery)
-Programmed Intermittent Bolus (PIB) — automatic periodic bolus doses
-Patient-Controlled Analgesia (PCA) / Patient-Controlled Epidural Analgesia (PCEA) — patient-activated bolus or demand doses
-Clinician-administered bolus — clinician-triggered doses
-Any of the above modes can be used individually or in combination depending on patient needs
-Suitable for a variety of administration routes: intravenous, epidural, subcutaneous, perineural (e.g. nerve blocks), surgical wound infusions, etc.

3. Mobility & Usability Features
-Compact and lightweight (about 595 g / 21 oz with batteries), making it easy to carry or wear for patient ambulatory use
-Small form factor (approx. 4.1 cm × 10.2 cm × 12.7 cm) excluding tubing or accessories — ideal for home or outpatient settings
-Large color display and intuitive, task-based user interface with color-coded screens — simplifies programming and reduces risk of error
-Simple cassette latch mechanism (no special pump key needed in many cases) for easy reservoir loading
-Built-in protocol library (can store up to 500 therapy protocols) — helps standardize therapy and enables quick setup

4. Safety, Security & Pump Protections
-Secure disposable medication cassette attachment with latch and key lock to prevent accidental disconnection or tampering
-Multiple security-access levels (e.g. keypad, clinician, administrator) to restrict unauthorized changes
-Comprehensive alarm and alert system: detects occlusions, air-in-line, low battery, improper cassette attachment, disposable issues, downstream/upstream problems, etc. — ensures safe therapy delivery
-Flow-stop / free-flow protection to prevent unintended infusion when line is disconnected or reservoir is empty

5. Technical & Operational Specifications
-Resolution: ~ 0.05 mL per pump stroke (cassette or administration set), or 0.1 mL per stroke with high-volume set
-Reservoir volume: 0 to 9,999 mL (programmable in 1 mL increments; display typically shows 0.1 mL resolution)
-Delivery units supported: milliliters (mL), milligrams (mg), micrograms (mcg) — depending on therapy and drug concentration
-Power options: AC adapter, rechargeable battery pack, or four AA alkaline batteries — supports flexible settings and portability
-Environmental operating conditions: designed for typical clinical / home use temperature/humidity / pressure ranges; splash-resistant housing for basic moisture protection

6. Clinical Applications & Use Cases
-CADD-Solis is suitable for a broad range of medical and therapy scenarios, including:
-Pain management: IV PCA, epidural/PCEA, peripheral nerve blocks, post-operative analgesia
-Regional anesthesia: peripheral nerve blocks, continuous wound infusion, subcutaneous or intrathecal delivery when applicable
-Settings: inpatient (ICU, ward), ambulatory surgery centers, outpatient infusion, home-based therapy, palliative care, oncology, labor & delivery, adult and pediatric care
