LOADING A FORMULA BY CONNECTING A USB DRIVE
Some facilities may use this method if they use order-entry software but the network is
temporarily unavailable.
IMPORTANT!
This method requires:
•
Formula Entry permissions. For more information about user groups and permissions,
refer to Setting Up the Users on Page 123.
•
Order-entry software on a separate computer. This software must be able to produce
both a .PAT/.FRM file and a corresponding label with a barcode. Both the .PAT/.FRM file
and barcode must be compatible with the compounder. Abacus software meets these
requirements. For more information, or if a barcode cannot be printed, contact Baxter
Technical Services. Refer to Getting Help on Page 22.
•
USB drive
NOTE:
Be sure that the USB drive is free of viruses.
•
Barcode reader at the compounder
In the order-entry software, the pharmacist creates an order, which creates a barcode and the
corresponding .PAT/.FRM file that contains the patient information and the formula. The
pharmacist saves the order onto a USB drive. A corresponding label with the barcode also prints
at the same time. Typically, a technician applies this label to a new patient bag and brings it to
the compounder. However, this process depends on your facility’s protocol.
At the compounder:
1.
Connect the USB drive to a USB port on the bottom of the display.
2.
Set up the EXACTAMIX software to look for formula files on the USB drive. For
instructions, refer to Setting Up the Directories Options on Page 121.
NOTE:
The software will continue to look for formula files in this location until you
change it back to the original location.
3.
Scan the barcode on the label of the patient bag.
