Cadd Administration Set

Issued December 21, 2022
Issue
Manufacturing variations may cause the green cadd flow stop arm to compress and partially occlude the tubing before clinical use. If this occurs, there is a potential that the occlusion does not resolve when an affected reservoir or administration set is connected to the pump, and the pump may not detect the occlusion. This may result in underdelivery, despite the pump displaying that the infusion is running properly. Cadd flow stop medication cassette reservoirs and cadd flow stop administration sets provide free-flow protection. by design, a green, spring-loaded pivoting arm automatically squeezes the tubing closed when the reservoir or administration set is not installed on a pump. Connecting the reservoir or administration set to the pump causes the pump to push the flow stop arm, enabling fluid flow through the tubing. In certain circumstances, the tubing may remain occluded even though the cadd reservoir or administration set is loaded into the pump. Recall start date: November 29, 2022
