Dispensing/Administering Medication


Cleaning and Storing Equipment

  • An automated dispensing system should be flushed with tepid, distilled water each day. (Tepid water is needed because excessively hot water can be corrosive to stainless steel equipment.)
     
  • To prevent drying out of equipment, after flushing, distilled water should be left in the pump and tubing until the system is ready to be refilled with medication.
     
  • Only authorized and trained personnel should purge the pump.
