Reconstitute Vaccine Screen |
|
Purpose |
Reconstitution of vaccine is a very specialized workflow for those vaccines that are originally in powder form and must be mixed with a liquid prior to administration to a patient. For example, the smallpox vaccine Dryvax must be reconstituted before administering a dose. The Reconstitute Vaccine screen creates a new lot for the doses which were mixed with the diluent. The system also deducts the doses from the original dry lot.

Reconstitute Vaccine |
To reconstitute vaccine, follow these steps:
Click on 'manage inventory' in the left-hand panel of menu items.
Click the Show Inventory button to see all the lots stored at one of your sites. From the list of lots, find the Dryvax lot you want to reconstitute.
On the Edit Inventory screen, verify that the lot you chose is Reconstituted: No. This confirms that the lot is in dry form. Click the Reconstitute button.
On the Reconstitute Vaccine Screen, type in the date of reconstitution, the expiration date, and the number of doses you want to reconstitute. Click the Save button.
The system takes you back to the Edit Inventory Screen for the original dry lot. It has created a new lot for your reconstituted doses. The system has also deducted the reconstituted doses from your original dry lot.
