Pyxis MedStation system components
The Pyxis MedStation system is custom-configured for your facility’s needs and
for the way you do business. The Pyxis MedStation system components include
the following:
•
Console (one or more)
—The console is the central controller and
clearinghouse for all stations. Network connections provide the
communications path between the components. The console is usually located
in the pharmacy and stations are located throughout the facility.
The console provides the management interface to enter and collect
information. It performs the following functions:
°
Communicates data to and updates activity information in all the stations.
°
Maintains copies of all patient, user, formulary, and activity information
used to generate pharmacy reports.
In some facilities, an additional computer, monitor, and keyboard can be
added in a second location as another console access point. This is also known
as a console workstation.
Pyxis

Procar, also a part of the console subsystem, is responsible for
interface communications, including the admissions, discharge, and transfer
(ADT) and billing information and, if you use profile mode, the pharmacy
software system link (patient orders and other pharmacy profile information).
CareFusion representatives configure and install the Pyxis MedStation system
for you.
•
Stations (one or more)
—The stations are the clients in the setup. They
provide secure and reliable storage for medications of all types. They
communicate with the console, receiving patient, order (profile mode only)
and inventory information, while continuously reporting all medication
transactions. Stations come in a variety of configurations, with a selection of
configurable drawers and doors to meet the needs of the various areas.
•
Printer
—The console includes a high-speed laser printer for printing reports.
•
Optional Component (Pyxis
®
Connect
)
—the Pyxis MedStation system
incorporates the Pyxis Connect product. The nurse-monitor station is a tool
used outside the pharmacy, on each unit where a scan station is placed, to
monitor the status of orders in the Pyxis Connect system. The nurse-monitor
station software is usually installed on computers in the nursing unit and used
by nurses to track orders that have been scanned from particular locations.
Nurses can check the status of an order at the same station from which they
attempted to remove a medication. If a nurse discovers that a new drug is not
yet on the patient’s profile, he or she can log on to Pyxis Connect from the
Pyxis MedStation system to check the status of the order.
NOTE
The Pyxis MedStation system communications hardware and software interfaces
are proprietary.
