MECHANICAL OVERRIDE KEY LOCK SYSTEM
In case of loss of power or communication between MedLink
TM
hardware and MedLink
TM
software there is a mechanical over-
ride option to gain access to the cassettes / drawers.
1. First, insert the override key into the override lock on the front of the housing. Turn the key anti-clockwise.
2. This will eject the Cassette handles from the housing. Pulling the handles outwards will allow the Cassettes to be
removed from the housing
3. Second, use the same override key in the lock on the rear panel of the Cassette. Turn the key anti-clockwise to un
lock all the Drawers in the Cassette. The Drawer may now be removed from the Cassette.

ASSIGNING AND FILLING DRAWERS
In normal usage, a typical workflow will involve a nurse receiving medication from the hospital pharmacy or retrieving it from
an Automated Dispensing Cabinet. The nurse would use MedLink
TM
to securely store each Patient’s medication in its own
Drawer for subsequent administration. This section details the step by step process for assigning a Drawer to either a Patient
or as a storage Drawer, and filling Drawers with medication or supplies.
NOTE:
The ability to assign and reassign Drawers is a configurable user permission. If you do not see the option to assign
Drawers when following this process, it is likely this function is not allowed for your user or user group profile. You should
consult your system administrator for assistance.
