Getting Started with Cartridges Installing Cartridges Cartridges are the main dispensing device for the RPM. They hold the medication and when needed, operate and dispense correct amount of pill to the bottom unit. All cartridges (A) are assigned to a number. If the cartridge number is below 500, find the cartridge base (D) with the same number and install it. Cartridges are calibrated for specific sized drug.
Getting Started with MDC MDC (Manual Dispensing Cell) is an alternative method for dispensing medication. It is ideal for medications that are short-term and that are used rarely. MDC is located in the middle unit of RPM, just above the switch key and emergency button. Unlike cartridges, MDC requires users to fill the tray when needed. NOTE: Please refer to the RPMS manual to assign medication to MDC and change configuration of MDC Tray consists of 90 cells and it is removable.
Getting Started with Lower Unit Lower unit is solely responsible for receiving the dispensed medications, print their medication information, and repack them. The repacked items will be delivered to the lower door by conveyor.
