Smiths Medical CADD Legacy Plus 6500

The Smiths Medical CADD-Legacy PLUS 6500 is a portable infusion pump designed for ambulatory and home-care delivery of fluids and medications across multiple therapy types.

The cassette cartridge system provides a closed-loop medication pathway and simplifies preparation. Alarms alert to occlusion, empty reservoir, low battery, program error, and cassette disconnection.
