10.4.5.6. Split a Dose Between 2 Bottles

Drawing From More than One Bottle

Drawing from two bottles on one animal.

When you reach the end of a bottle and need to draw more drugs for the patient, follow these steps:

1. Click the blue “Open New Bottle” button. This will create two open bottles on the draw screen.
2. Select both bottles by ticking the box next to each bottle number. The tick box indicates the bottle is being used.
3. A textbox will appear next to each bottle selected. Type in how much was drawn from each bottle.
   In some cases, you may need to go into a negative balance on bottles where the electronic log’s calculated balance is different than the real-world availability. In this case, always indicate the actual amount you drew from the near-empty bottle.
4. Tick the box to “Mark bottle as done after drawing.” This means the bottle will no longer be used after this animal.
5. Confirm the total drawn for the drug and Save.
6. If you recorded a draw amount greater than the electronic bottle balance, the system will ask if you want to go into a negative balance on that bottle. Click Give Negative Balance.
