Smiths Medical Cadd Prizm 6100 & 6101
Smiths Medical · Model Cadd Prizm 6100 & 6101
The PCA mode is designed for therapies that require continuous patient-controlled delivery or a combination of the two. The CADD PRIZM 6100 can function on four distinct modes: PCA, continuous, TPN, and intermittent. The continuous mode is designed to deliver infusions at a constant, programmed rate. The TPN allows for the delivery of nutritional solutions or other fluids with optional tapering. The intermittent mode permits the infusion of specific volumes at regular pre-set times. The CADD Prizm 6100 has a single therapy feature and has an integral data port which can be used as an interface for a printer, as a remote dose cord input or as a modem for communications.
Key tips
- ·Free-flow protection must be verified on every PM - a failed anti-free-flow clamp is a direct overdose risk.
- ·Test occlusion alarms in both directions - failing to alarm when it should is more dangerous than a false alarm.
- ·Battery run-time complaints are the most common real-world nuisance call - a full charge/discharge cycle test catches most of them.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Failure / error message stops delivery
HighSymptoms: The pump alarms and displays an error message / code and stops.
Root cause: A subsystem fault indexed in the service manual - motor / drive, a sensor, set-detection, or a board.
Occlusion alarm / pressure fault
MediumSymptoms: Repeated occlusion alarms, delivery stops, or an occlusion is missed.
Root cause: Kinked or clamped line, a closed roller clamp, a positional patient tube, pressure-sensor drift, or an improperly loaded set.
Air-in-line alarm
MediumSymptoms: Frequent air-in-line alarms, delivery stops.
Root cause: Air in the set, an improperly loaded set, or an ultrasonic air-detector fault.
Flow-rate accuracy drift
MediumSymptoms: Delivered volume outside tolerance on the annual test, especially at low rates.
Root cause: Worn pumping mechanism / plunger drive.
Battery will not hold charge
MediumSymptoms: Short run time, low-battery early after a full charge.
Root cause: Aged battery pack.
Door / plunger / sensor mechanical wear
LowSymptoms: Set will not load, door will not latch, plunger grip poor.
Root cause: Worn door latch, plunger jaws, or anti-free-flow mechanism.

Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Error message or code
- Note the exact error message / code.
- Look it up in the pump's technical service manual troubleshooting section.
- Use the biomed diagnostics / utilities to test the affected subsystem.
- Follow the manual's parts-replacement procedure.
- Run the scheduled-maintenance test set (including flow accuracy) after any repair.
Symptom: Occlusion or delivery problem
- Check the line for kinks, clamps and a closed roller clamp; check the patient site.
- Reload the set correctly, clearing all air.
- Confirm an approved set for this pump.
- Run the pressure / air-detector (or rotor) test in diagnostics.
- Replace the set; refer the pump if a sensor / mechanism fault is indicated.
