NOTE
A rule of thumb is to initially set the Min level at 40% of the Max and then adjust it
accordingly as you see how fast a certain medication is being depleted.
Another method is to determine your average daily (or hourly) need for the
medication for the period of time between normal station refills and set the Max
count and Min to cover that need.
What you actually load in the pocket at the station, however, supersedes the
number you enter here.
For a Single-dose drawer, the values are no greater than the number of pockets
in the drawer.
NOTE
Integrated mains are not supported on the Pyxis MedStation system.
