When you have entered three values, the Drug Calculator automatically calculates the unknown 
fourth value and shows it in the highlighted field. Standardized rate and concentration are also 
calculated.
Performing Calculations for a Specific Drug 
1
Select the arrow beside 
Any Drug
, then select 
the required drug from 
the list of drugs.
This opens the 
Drug Calculator
 
window for the selected 
drug. 
2
Select the correct patient 
category for your patient.
If you have a neonatal or 
pediatric patient, the 
Rule of Six
 choice 
may be available. Select if required.
3
Enter the patient weight, if necessary. 
If available, the patient weight from the 
Patient Demographic
 window is entered 
automatically in the Drug Calculator window. To change the patient weight, select the 
Weight
 
key then use the on-screen keypad to enter the correct value. This will not change the patient 
weight stored in the patient demographic information. Select the weight unit shown to change 
between
 lb
 and 
kg
.

When a specific drug is selected, the initial values for 
Dose
Amount
 and 
Volume
 are the 
configured Start values for this drug. The 
Rate
 is then calculated. If other values are required you 
can calculate any value by entering the remaining three values as described in ”Performing 
Calculations for a Non-Specific Drug”
.
The column on the right of the Drug Calculator window shows either drug dose or dosage rate, 
whichever is the calculated value. The current calculated value is shown on a scale with the 
recommended range in green. If the current calculated value lies outside the recommended range it is 
shown in red.
If you have changed values in the Drug Calculator and you want to revert to the configured values, 
select 
Reset Values
 key at any time.
