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.

Installation Instructions

3. Pull the flex circuit tight inside the refrigerator door.

4. Install the temperature sensor end inside the refrigerator. Remove the self-adhesive cover and pull the flex circuit tight while sticking it in place.

Figure 2-31. Installing the sensor inside the refrigerator.

5. Remove the tape from the contacts end of the flex circuit.

6. Peel off the self-adhesive cover from the flex circuit.

7. Pull the flex circuit tight while carefully adhering it from inside the refrigerator to the mid point of the mounting bracket.

8. Bend the exposed end of the flex circuit at a ninety degree angle. Bend up for refrigerators that open from the left...or down for refrigerators that open from the right. The exposed contacts should be facing the refrigerator wall in either case.

Figure 2-32. Bending the Flex Circuit end up (refrigerator opens from left)............or down (refrigerator opens from right).

Note: Be sure to complete the “Bracket Assembly” steps before going to the “Inner Housing and Cover”

section.

a. Pull out the Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) connector collar so that it is in the up (unlocked)

position.

b. Loop the TempCheck probe flex circuit around without twisting to plug it into the ZIF

connector. The flex circuit contacts should be facing down (if refrigerator opens from the left) or up (if refrigerator opens from the right).

c. Insert the flex circuit into the connector, then evenly press the ZIF connector collar down

into the locked position.

Alignment

1. Close the refrigerator (or cabinet) door to check the lock assembly for clearance in three places.



The lock assembly should be vertically centered so that the gap at point 1 is the same as point 2.

The lock tab should move in/out of the locking slot with no interference at point 3.

Figure 2-37. Checking the locking assembly.

2. If alignment adjustments are needed, remove the cover.

Figure 2-38. Alignment Features

3. To add space between the mounting bracket and the inner housing assembly:

a. Pull the ZIF connector collar up to release the TempCheck flex circuit if present.

b. Remove the four corner standoffs and washers.

c. Remove the inner housing. Thread the flex circuit out of the housing opening if present.
