Smart Canisters
The Smart Canister anatomy is similar to that of
other canisters. However, the Smart Canister is not
pinned, and has a special label inside the canister
base, as shown below.
Figure 3-2 Smart Canister label
The label scan sensor, located on the side of the
Smart Canister motor base, reads this label to
identify the Smart Canister. Smart Canisters are
always numbered greater than 400.
Smart Canisters typically contain those medications
which are not dispensed in high volume. The Smart
Canister may be routinely stored outside the FastPak
EXP until a batch calls for the infrequently-dispensed
medication. The Smart Canister is then placed on one
of the Smart Canister motor bases, and returned to
the previous storage location after the batch has been
dispensed.
