Calibrate the Pump

The dispensing system is calibrated weekly.

• In the Dispensing tab of Samms Main Menu, place the cursor on Pump.
• From the submenu, select Calibrate Pump.
• A box will display requesting you Enter the amount of mg’s to be dispensed.
• Enter the the mg’s and click OK.
• A box will display requesting you Enter Amount Dispensed.
• Use a syringe to measure the amount and enter it.
• Click on OK.

!The amount of Methadone you requested the system to dispense should agree with the actual amount dispensed to ensure that pumps are dispensing correct doses.

• If the two amounts do not agree, you will be asked if you wish to repeat the test.

• Click Yes to repeat the test.

!If the test continues to indicate that the calibration is incorrect, the pump must be serviced.

SAMMS will generate a report to confirm pump calibration. It is signed and added to paper files.
