FastPak EXP Operating Manual 29
Filling Canisters
Filling Canisters
The canisters are manually filled by the operator. If a
canister is low on a medication, the operator may
choose to manually fill the canister before it empties.
Packaging will only stop if the operator is filling a
canister from which medication is currently being
dispensed for packaging.
When a canister becomes empty, refill as described
below.
1. An alarm sounds, a canister empty light
illuminates, and the LCD panel on the front of
the FastPak EXP displays an error message
containing the number of the canister which
needs to be refilled.
2. Open the appropriate canister drawer and locate
the empty canister.
3. Remove the canister from the shelf and place it
on a sturdy surface.
If you are using the optional replenishment kit,
follow the screen prompts to scan the canister
and drug bottle barcodes, and use the scale to
verify the quantity of medication you are adding
to refill the canister.
4. Verify that the product information on the top of
the canister matches the product information on
the medication bottle.
5. Check the desiccant in the canister lid; replace
the desiccant when it has changed from its
original color.
