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.
One cell represents one package, so if
dispensing in multi-dose format, all the
medication that are needed in one package
will go into one cell.
If an order contains both medications from
canisters and from MDC, the machine will
direct user to fill the cell with just the MDC
medications. Then, RPM will automatically
operate both canister and MDC to repack
desired order.
