How to Program a CADD® Solis Pump

Health care providers use a CADD Solis pump to give medicine into your child’s vein (an infusion.) The medicine helps reduce pain after surgery.

How a CADD Solis pump works

The health care provider inserts a small tube (catheter) under your child’s skin, near the area whey they had surgery. The provider attaches the CADD Solis pump to the catheter. The pump slowly gives pain medicine. The pump comes in a bag, so your child can move around.
