Using the Compounder

At the compounder:
1. Navigate to the pump screen.
2. Scan the barcode on the label of the patient bag.
The compounder retrieves the order through the network and populates the pump
screen with the patient name, formula serial number and volume of each ingredient to
be pumped. The compounder reads the code number of each ingredient in the formula
and matches this number to one in the formulary. In the United States, the code
number is usually the National Drug Code (NDC).
WARNING
The code number for each product in the formula must exactly match the code
number for that product in the compounder’s formulary. If a code number is
assigned to one product in the order-entry software, and that number is
assigned to a different product in the compounder’s formulary, the
compounder may pump the wrong ingredient, resulting in patient harm.
It is the
user’s responsibility to ensure that code numbers are properly and consistently
assigned in both systems.
NOTE: If any ordered ingredients are not in the configuration on the compounder, are
not allowed as auto-additions or have a volume less than 0.2 mL, the compounder
software will identify these ingredients as manual additions.
3. Continue with Fulfilling the Order (Basic Process) on Page 84.
