In short

Device company Smiths Medical has announced FDA 510(k) clearance for its CADD®-Solis VIP ambulatory infusion system with CADD™-Solis medication safety software.

Background

Smiths Medical’s new CADD®-Solis VIP (variable infusion profile) system is a versatile, multiple therapy pump for applications including TPN, Intermittent, Continuous, PCA and Step. The company says its device features a large, therapy-specific color screen to help easily differentiate each delivery mode and provide intuitive, easy-to-use navigation. The on-board library holds up to 500 protocols, and pharmacist-defined soft and hard limits provide clinician control and medication safety.

The system includes five delivery modes: Continuous, Intermittent, Taper, PCA (Patient Controlled Analgesia) and Step. This allows the system to be used for a variety of therapies including TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition), chemotherapy, antibiotics, hydration, pain management, and Intravenous / Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin infusions for adult and pediatric patients.
The pump’s user interface is patient focused and displays therapy information in an easy-to-understand format to help reduce training time. The medication safety software allows clinicians to download therapy information directly from their personal computer into the pump as well as view reports on infusion data and delivery history for quick and easy therapy assessment and continuous quality improvement.
