This screen allows you to add Schedule Overrides such as emergency closures or holidays in which a facility is closed. Typically, an agency will run three consecutive 10mg tests each morning to confirm the pump is producing exactly 10mg. Additionally, this screen is required to empty Methadone out of the pump at the end of each day and to insert distilled water into the pump for cleaning. In the morning, this process is reversed by clearing the distilled water out of the pump and placing Methadone on the pump, prime the pump to prepare for dispensing.

To access this screen, go to Administration 🡪 Pump Calibration.

Steps for Testing the Connection and Calibrating the Pump
