10.4.5.3. Open a Closed Bottle

Open a Closed Bottle

There are two places you can open a closed bottle from, depending on the drug you are using.

  • Patient Flow: This is where you will open and log bottles that are used on patients. It includes drugs you have setup protocols for, your available drug setup, and your compounded controlled drugs.
  • Compound Bottle Creator: This is where you will open and log bottles that are used to CREATE compounded drugs. For example, your butorphanol and tiletamine bottles when creating TTDex.

Here are the steps to open a closed bottle.

Patient Flow

  1. Go to Patient Flow.
  2. Find the drug popup menu for your drug. If it is a pre-med drug it will be under Exam & Pre-Med > Drugs > Given. If it an induction drug, it will be under Drug Draw > Drugs > Drawn. For surgery drugs, other drugs, or emergency drugs, Go to Drugs under the Action menu and find the appropriate popup.
  3. Once you are in the Record or Edit Amounts popup, find the drug you are looking to open. In the Action column, you will click the Open New Bottle button.

Compounded Drug Popup

  1. Go to Settings > Patient Flow Setup > Setup Controlled Substances and Compounded Controlled Substances.
  2. Find the compound drug you are creating. Click Manage.
  3. Click Add New Batch of Bottles. The compound creator popup will appear.
  4. Click Open New Bottle.

If a bottle is marked Closed, it will remain in your container inventory. When you next click Open New Bottle, the system will open the next available bottle in the order you added them in.
