the compounding process. You can change the volume used for the final flush when creating a
configuration.
The UI is specified by the facility and is typically water or dextrose.
CONFIGURATION
A configuration identifies the products that will be attached to the ports, the sequence in which
they will be pumped, any allowable auto-additions, the ingredient and volume to use for any
ingredient flushes, the Universal Ingredient and the volume to use for the final flush.
BARCODE VERIFICATION
WARNING
It is important to use a barcode reader for scanning labels during verification of the
setup.
For the barcode verification to be effective, it is critical that the configuration be set up
properly. For instructions, refer to Attaching the New Ingredients and Inlets
on
Page 48.
During daily setup, or when a source container must be replaced, the software guides you
through a process of barcode verification. You scan a barcode label on each inlet and each
source container to verify that the inlet is attached to the correct container.
Each inlet must be labeled with a barcode that identifies the port to which the inlet is attached.
These barcode labels are packaged with the valve set. The compounder software can also
generate a report that makes these labels available for printing.
Most source containers already have a manufacturer’s barcode label attached. For containers
that are filled or diluted in the pharmacy, the compounder software can also generate a report
that makes these labels available for printing.
Tip! Baxter strongly recommends using the manufacturer’s barcode whenever possible.
MEASUREMENT OF VOLUME AND WEIGHT
The compounder uses volumetric delivery to move fluid, with gravimetric verification to check
the final weight of the destination bag. The compounder also performs an automatic calibration
to maintain delivery accuracy.
Volumetric Delivery
The pump rotor moves as it pumps an ingredient into the destination bag. The amount of
movement determines the volume that is delivered.
Automatic Calibration
The pump is calibrated with water. A flow factor associated with each ingredient adjusts the
flow of that ingredient compared to the flow of water. The flow factor accounts for the
ingredient’s viscosity, the size and type of its source container, its inlet, its venting and other
factors that affect its delivery. As a result, calibrating with water automatically calibrates the
compounder for use with all the other ingredients.
