CALIBRATING THE COMPOUNDER
This procedure is usually performed as part of the daily setup.
For instructions, refer to Calibrating the Compounder on Page 69.
SHUTTING DOWN AND STARTING UP THE COMPOUNDER
Tip! Baxter recommends fully shutting down and starting up the compounder once a day, to
allow the software to perform routine database maintenance at startup.
For instructions, refer to Starting Up, Logging In and Out, and Shutting Down on Page 30.
BACKING UP AND COMPACTING THE DATABASE
The compounder’s database accumulates data related to solutions, formulas and logs. For
example, the software records important device activity in a Blackbox log, which Baxter can
access through the Blackbox Report when needed. The compounder stores this data for a
specified time period. To set up the storage options, refer to Storage on Page 114.
When you shut down the software, the compounder automatically backs up the database. If
required during troubleshooting, you can use the backup data to restore the software settings
to an earlier state. When you start up the software, it notifies you if more than seven days have
passed since the last backup occurred. In this situation, perform a manual backup.
Tip! Baxter recommends performing a manual backup at least once a week or after changing
the system settings.
You can also compact the database to reduce its space on the hard drive and keep the
compounder operating efficiently. To set up the compaction options, refer to Database
Compaction on Page 116.
