Primary Infusion
Using the auto-ID module to scan IV medication containers provides the ability to select the correct
medication and drug amount/diluent volume from the drug library, and enhances safety through the use of
the Guardrails suite MX. It compares the medication identifier from the IV container barcode with the
medication identifier from the drug library. If the patient ID is in the IV container barcode, the system also
compares the patient identifier in the barcode with the patient identifier in the PCU.
When the green READY indicator illuminates, the system is ready to scan.
NOTE:
There is a prompt to accept or decline the change of patient ID if it is different from the patient ID
already associated to the PCU.
Auto-ID module green READY scan light on the auto ID module illuminates, indicating the screens
that allow scanning. The green ready scan light does not illuminate when the programming steps
have passed the point of being able to scan the medication.
1. To scan barcode on IV container, press the SCAN/CANCEL key on auto-ID module or scan trigger on
auto-ID handheld scanner.
The PCU displays the scanned medication/fluid information.
2. Press
CHANNEL SELECT key on appropriate module.
System determines if module selected is appropriate for scanned medication type. If selection is not
appropriate, a
pop-up message is displayed with a request to
CONFIRM message, and scan is canceled.
