Dispensing Batches
82 FastPak EXP Operating Manual
Notification bags are customizable bags you can
place within a batch to notify the user. After selecting
the notification bag type you want to configure
(interval, batch cycle, or manual) choose options or
complete the configurable fields on the
corresponding windows.
You may want to add an interval notification bag in
an alternate care environment when you have a 24-
hour strip of bags that must be separated into
different intervals, such as breakfast, lunch, and
dinner. To configure an interval notification bag,
choose a start time greater than or equal to a time you
choose from the Start drop-down list. Similarly,
choose an end time less than the time you select from
the End drop-down list.
The batch cycle notification bags are intended to
remind staff members at a long-term care facility that
they are nearing the end of a cycle fill medication
strip. The pharmacy packaging the medication bags
can print a notification such as “the strip will end in 2
days” to remind the nursing staff to check their non-
packaged medication stock for items that also must
be refilled and delivered at the time the next set of
strip-packaged medication will be delivered. In this
example, the staff will then run a visual check of
other things in their medication carts or cabinets such
as ointment, creams, cough syrups, inhalers,
suppositories, etc and re-order those items to
accompany the next big delivery from the pharmacy.
To configure a batch cycle notification bag, specify
the number of days from the start of the batch.
Choose the manual notification bag, for example, if
you want to notify the user that upon reaching a
specific bag, it is time to reorder. This notification
type is most frequently used in an alternate care
