FlexLock

1-1

Product Overview

FlexLock offers security for refrigerated medications or supplies. It can be attached to a refrigerator storing thermal-sensitive medications or a supply cabinet. FlexLock is then cabled to an Omnicell cabinet. The Color Touch screen can display the status of the FlexLock (open/closed, locked/unlocked). A maximum of two FlexLocks can be attached to one Omnicell cabinet due to power supply considerations. The FlexLock should be located as close to the OmniSupplier as possible for best usage.

Other FlexLock features:



Up to 119 items can be assigned to each FlexLock.



An internal bin address is associated with each item. External bin numbers are not used.



An item cannot be assigned to the same FlexLock more than once.



An item cannot be assigned to more than one FlexLock.



An item cannot be assigned to a FlexLock and any other hardware locations at the same time.

System Requirements



TempCheck

The TempCheck temperature sensor is an optional component of the Omnicell FlexLock product. It can be included as part of a new FlexLock installation or retrofit to an existing FlexLock.

TempCheck automates monitoring of the storage temperature for thermal-sensitive medications. This product promotes increased patient safety, workflow efficiency, and regulatory compliance.

Alerts warn the staff (pharmacy, RN, security) when the storage temperature is outside the specified range for a better response time. Reports can be used to meet state and local agency regulations. The Color Touch screen can display real-time storage temperature readings through a diagnostics window.

Installation Instructions

Preparation

1. Use the template pattern (see “Template” on page C-1) to see if the cabinet or refrigerator is compatible with the FlexLock. There are two sides of the template—one for a square (90° angle) door, the other for a rounded door (used by such manufacturers as Sanyo or Kenmore).

a. Align the template to the door and side surface.

b. Make sure there are no gaps.

pattern. See “Compatible Refrigerators” on page A-5 for space requirements and makes/models details.

2. Use an isopropyl alcohol/water mix to clean the refrigerator or cabinet surface where the FlexLock is to be placed (side where door opens—not the hinged side).

FlexLock Assembly

1. Choose a location on the refrigerator or cabinet—allowing room for the Flexlock and accessing the refrigerator/cabinet handle.

Note: If installing the TempCheck probe, make sure the cross bar of the mounting bracket is not in line

with a shelf inside the refrigerator. The TempCheck flex circuit should be able run along the inside wall of the refrigerator.

2. Select the correct door adapter for the door type.

Do not attempt to install the FlexLock if the refrigerator door does not fit the template

Helmer Fridge Adjustment

If attaching the FlexLock to a Helmer refrigerator, extra steps and parts are needed. This setup can take up to 15 minutes. Secure the contents of the refrigerator (if any) in a secure, temperature controlled container/area during the procedure.

For the 11 cubic feet refrigerator, do the following steps:

1. Remove the existing handle from the door by removing the five mounting screws.

2. Secure the Omnicell Flexlock handle to the door using four of the original screws (two on top and two at the bottom).

3. Secure the spacer block to the door using the middle screw. Make sure that one edge lines up with the front face of door.

For the under counter refrigerator, do the following steps:

1. Remove two of the bottom door screws.

TempCheck Installation

This section provides instructions for the optional installation of a TempCheck temperature probe with a new FlexLock. If performing a TempCheck retrofit for an existing FlexLock, refer to

“Retrofit TempCheck” on page 2-45. If not using this optional feature, skip to the next

section—“Inner Housing and Cover” on page 2-20.

Note: Most refrigerators have doors that open from the left (door hinges on the right side). If the door opens

from the right side, some installation parts must be inverted.

1. Clean the intended path of the TempCheck probe flex circuit inside the refrigerator with a isopropyl alcohol/water mix. The path should be level with the mounting bracket’s crossbar and not in line with a refrigerator shelf. The probe is placed on the side closest to the opening—opposite the hinges.

2. Align the contacts end of the flex circuit to the edge of the FlexLock mounting bracket and temporarily attach it with adhesive tape. Avoid taping over the circuit contacts at the end.

Figure 2-30. Aligning the end of the Flex Circuit with bracket.

Bin Addressing



Item Assignment



Reports



FlexLock Programming



Cabinet Configuration

3-1

OmniCenter

Bin Addressing

FlexLock bin addresses are handled essentially the same way that the bin addresses in a Sure-Med universal compartment are currently treated. The drawer type is FlexLock. The location displayed is entered by the user at the OmniSupplier. If a user-entered description is not provided, the field displays Flexlock #1, Flexlock #2, and so on. Like universal compartment bins, FlexLocks do not support multiple bins, so items that are assigned to a FlexLock cannot be assigned elsewhere, and vice versa. Only pharmacy items are supported.

The new Drawer Type information is as follows:

Field Value

draw type 46

draw_desc FlexLock

start_bin 0

stop_bin 118

bin_number nBin + 1

subdrawers .F.

multi_bin .F.

matrix .F.

Product Overview

The FlexLock can be connected to a cabinet or a workstation. It can also be daisy-chained to an External Return Bin (ERB) or another FlexLock.

The cabinet or workstation acts as a host providing power to the FlexLock directly or indirectly through a daisy-chained ERB or another FlexLock.

The host cabinet or workstation must be powered down to work on the FlexLock as it does not have its own power switch. This is true even if the FlexLock to be serviced is in a daisychain and not directly connected to the host cabinet or workstation.

Some services require the disconnection of the FlexLock cables for replacement or to allow the host equipment to be used while service is being completed on the FlexLock.

Service Overview

There are four types of services done on a FlexLock. They are listed below with the related conditions when they are performed.



Alignment Adjustment

This service is done when the refrigerator door does not close properly.



TempCheck Replacement

Replace the TempCheck probe and flex circuit cable (if present) when:

 



FlexLock Inner Housing Replacement

This service is done when:

 



Complete FlexLock Replacement

The whole FlexLock assembly is replaced when:



Temperature readings are beyond hardware limit

Voltage problems occur and error messages are displayed

Upgrading an older FlexLock for TempCheck installation

Hardware failure occurs and error messages are displayed

FlexLock has poor adhesion to refrigerator or cabinet

Poor adhesion can be caused by an unclean or textured refrigerator/cabinet surface. It can also be caused by not waiting long enough for the adhesion to bond before the FlexLock is used.

General Service Instructions

These instructions are called by the service procedures that follow.

Service Preparation

These steps are done before every service.

1. Contact the pharmacist so that a representative can be present when pharmacy items are accessible during service.

2. Store the contents of the refrigerator elsewhere. The refrigerator door may be left open for a long period of time depending on the type of service to be done. This could harm thermal-sensitive medications.

3. Turn off the power to the FlexLock by performing a graceful shut-down the host cabinet or workstation—even if the FlexLock to be serviced is daisy-chained to another FlexLock or ERB.

4. Wear a properly grounded ESD strap. This will protect sensitive components from electro-static discharge.

Service 4-3
