Required Internet Specifications


Cubex LLC® 2018—All Rights Reserved. May not be reprinted or distributed without permission.
Connection Types
Ethernet/Cat5 based connection located within 5 feet of where your MedBank Solution will
be placed.

Internet
A minimum of a DHCP or Static IP connection is required.
• This information may be provided to an IT person on- or off-site who facilitates your
computer and internet needs.
• If you do not use an IT person, the best way to determine whether your internet
connection is based off a DHCP or Static IP connection is to ask yourself if there is
anything different you have to do when connecting a new PC to your current network
besides just starting an internet browser. If you are able to get onto the internet right
away, then you have a DHCP connection.
• If a Static IP address is to be used, a data sheet will be provided during pre-
implementation.

Ports 80, 1433, and 443 will need to be open for data and internet services.
The following websites will need to be unblocked from your current network:
• www.logmein.com
• www.mycubexsystem.com
• sync.myQLink.net

Cubex LLC cannot guarantee connectivity of your MedBank Solution due to varying storm
conditions and cannot guarantee any claims made by the UPS Backup/s purchase.

Solution Security Features


Cubex LLC® 2018—All Rights Reserved. May not be reprinted or distributed without permission.
Rear Panel Locks
The MenBank Solutions have a removable rear panel secured with barrel
key locks. These locks are located on the top left and right sides of the rear
panel. Customers retain secure control of the keys to these locks at all times.
The bottom of the rear panel is held in place with two sheet metal tabs that
insert into holes in the bottom of the Solution.

If the rear panel is pried off or tampered with, substantial visible structural damage
will be evident.

18

Solution Security Anchor Cable


A one-inch hole located at the bottom rear of each Solution allows the attachment of a security
anchor cable preventing removal of the entire Solution.

Seismic Anchoring
In California, certain equipment must be seismically anchored according to California Building Code.
Installation of these anchoring devices is the responsibility of the customer. It is recommended that
these installations be accomplished by a licensed contractor or other hospital- approved, qualified
individual.

Cubex LLC will not be liable for equipment damage or personnel injury during the installation of these
devices.

Additional Security Features


If a MedBank Solution is unplugged from its wall power outlet, the station will go into backup power
mode and continue running on the 12-Volt backup battery in the main Solution. This allows only
enough time to perform a proper shutdown.

Cleaning the Solution


Cubex LLC® 2018—All Rights Reserved. May not be reprinted or distributed without permission.
To prevent damage of electrical components and to prevent the possibility of
electrical shock, unplug all products prior to cleaning. Solution equipment is
typically cleaned with mild soap and warm water. Clean the exterior of the
Solution with a slightly damp cloth, ensuring liquids do not seep into any
openings or seams. Wipe off any cleanser residue with a clean, damp cloth.

Computer keyboards should simply be wiped down using mild soap and warm
water with a slightly dampened soft cloth. To remove any dirt or fingerprints
from the front surface of the displays or touch screens, use an alcohol pad and
a clean, lint-free cloth.

Clean the drawer interiors with a slightly damp cloth and wipe dry.

Care should be taken to avoid contamination of supplies and medications stored in the product
while cleaning.

Avoid fluids on top of the Solution!


Do not store fluids on top of equipment. If something spills on top of a Solution, clean it up
immediately. Do not allow spilled liquids into any seams or openings.

match is found. Manual password entry may be
required, based on your system’s settings.

MedBank BioID readers are either Lumidigm or


Digital Persona. The easiest way to tell which on you
have is to perform a fingerprint scan. If the scan
starts blue and flashes white, it’s a Lumidigm. If the
scan starts blue or red, but flashes red during the
scan, it’s a Digital Persona.

This is important when setting the Login Threshold in


Cabinet Settings. Selecting the wrong BioID reader,
will make your MedBank non-functional.

Badge Barcode Login


Some states and facilities are now requiring additional security log in
procedures - a ’something you have and something you know,’
enhancement.

In addition to a fingerprint or User ID, you’ll be asked to scan a badge


barcode. To log in to the Solution, touch the text box next to User ID > Scan
your MedBank barcode. Verification will be initiated, and user logged in
when a match is found. Manual password is required.

Any of the above methods may be used in combination. See Software Options for settings.

If a user needs to re-scan their print due to an injury


or other circumstances, repeat the procedure.

Hints for a successful scan


✓ Cover the entire surface with your finger tip ✓ Apply firm, consistent pressure
✓ Keep the positions consistent ✓ Dry or cold hands have greater difficulty scanning

Solution Communication
The Solution must be connected to your facility internet network at all times. If the facility network is
down, the Solution(s) will continue to function; however, information from MyQLink.net will not update
the Solution(s) and remote support to the Solution(s) will not be possible. New information and changes
such as patient census, scheduled restocks, items, and users will not appear at the Solution until the
network connectivity resumes. The key indicator to network connectivity is the small icon in the upper
left corner of the log in screen of the Main Solution.

For software versions prior to 37

If the green lines appear in the icon, the Solution is communicating with the MyQLink.net over
the internet.

If a red line appears in the icon, the Solution is not communicating with myQLink.net. All other
Solution icons will remain grey.

For software version 37 or later

For non-SYNC cabinets, you will receive this pop-up:

For SYNC cabinets, the globe in the top left corner will
change from:

Communicating Not Communicating

With version 2.0.37.0 and later, you can now receive text and/or e-mail alerts if your cabinet is
not syncing with the cloud. See the myQLink Guide for details.

Zone Types

Zones are isolated areas within your MedBank Solution. Zones can be configured to be one of the
following:

Non- Touch to Take Zone (required if managing controlled drugs)


Requires the user to input information for a higher level of security. After logging into the Solution, the user
will be asked to select from a list of items, select quantity, and confirm the item Issued or Returned. Only
the Zone that contains the selected item will unlock.

Touch to Take Zone (not for use with Non-Button Items)


42
Rapid Access; speeds up access to items that require less security. When a user logs into the Solution, the
Zones in this mode will unlock, allowing full access. All other Normal Issue Mode Zones will remain locked.

Non-Button Zone (available in Normal Issue mode only)


These Zones do not have the button bar that associates the item with a Take/Return button. Instead,
they are associated with a location within the Zone. Each Zone can hold up to 24 bins. Each bin can
hold up to 10 items. This allows up to 240 items within one Non-Button Zone, greatly increasing capacity.
Users will log into the Solution to issue the non-button item. The door will open, and the user will locate
the item based on Bin location described on the display. (Some systems can allow for scanning of bin
location for additional confirmation that correct item is taken.)

Patient Specific Zone (available in Normal Issue mode only)


These Zones are a combination of a Non-Button bins (see above) and Patient Specific bins (non- billable).
Patient Specific bins are bins that are designated for a specific patient and contain medications or
supplies that can only be issued to that patient.

Consolidated Solution vs Standard Solution


A Consolidated Solution has the same item assigned to multiple bin locations within the Solution. This
allows the System Administrator to monitor the Max and Min levels for a single item across all bins in a
Solution. The Max for the bin will be the bin’s capacity; How many of that item will occupy that bin. The
bin capacity multiplied across the item’s multiple bins will be the MultiMax. When a Purchase Order (PO)
comes in (triggered at the MultiMin), the Solution will divide the Order Quantity received and distribute
to each designated bin, as needed.

A Standard Solution (Default), as opposed to a Consolidated Solution, will have:


Max and Min in increments of the item’s Order Quantity
Purchase Orders will be received and distributed to a single bin
The Solution will indicate which bin at which Solution, if an item is assigned to multiple Solutions.

See the myQLink.net Guide for more information and settings regarding Zone Set Up.

Adding Temporary Employees
There may be a time when an Administrator needs to add a new temporary employee, but doesn’t
have access to myQLink.net. By adding a temporary employee at the cabinet, the system will give
them an expiration date which will leave them inactive after that date has passed.

First, setup the setting on the myQLink.net at Tools >


Options > Defaults

Once the database parameters have been set, the


Administrator can begin using the feature.

48
At the Solution, select Admin > Manage Emp

This screen will show all employees with the exception


of Administrator users, whose rights cannot be copied
using this feature. Use the header to sort the columns
or use the search field to locate an employee.

To Inactivate an employee, select the employee >


Inactivate > and then Confirm Inactivation

To Modify an employee, select the employee >


Modify > make necessary edits > then select Confirm
Modification

To Add a New temporary employee, select an


employee that has the same rights as the new user
will have > Copy

Template place holders are an easy way to manage new temporary employee additions. Set
up employees with the rights that match the employee placeholder. For example, you might
set up an employee type “Nurse” that has the appropriate access rights for that position. When you add
a new temp nurse to the facility, simply select the Nurse employee to copy. See myQLink User Guide for
more details.

Assigning Items
Use this function to add a new item to a bin location or change an item’s location

Prior to assigning item bin locations, the item must be created in myQLink.net and communicated
to the Solution. Items with Alternate ID’s will be assigned to the same bin as the primary item
(please refer to the myQLink.net Guide for further information).

Assigning a Non-Consolidated Solution

Max Quantity The system will stock the item to this amount when a Purchase Order is
generated. 50
Critical Level Defaulted to 1, but inactive in this stage. When activated, the system will e- mail
notifications every hour when the Quantity on-hand reached this critical level. The notifications are
discontinued once the bin is replenished above this Critical level (See myQLink.net User Guide for more
information on this setting).
Min Quantity The level at which the system will generate a Purchase Order.

The numeric difference between the Max and Min MUST be the difference of the order quantity.

Assigning a Consolidated Solution


For Consolidated Solutions, the Max will be the bin’s capacity. When assigning the same item in
multiple bins, the bin capacity, added up for all bins, becomes the Multi-Max and the Multi-Min
becomes the PO trigger. The difference between the Multi Max and the Multi Min is a multiple of the order
quantity. An order is received and distributed within the solution based on Bin capacity.

For Example: Three separate bins contain Drug A. Order Quantity of Drug A is 6 units. The Unit of Issue
(UOI) is by the unit.

Drug A Bin 1 Bin 2 Bin 3 Multi Max Multi Min


Bin Max (Bin Capacity) 4 4 2 10
Bin Min 1 1 1 3
Order Point 0 1 2

If assigning multiples of the same item, the item will be issued in the order they are assigned –
First In, First Out (FIFO).

being used?

• For Prodigy Interfaces, navigate to the prescription Entry > Enter M (Modify) in the action field
followed by the Rx number > Press the Enter Key > Leave the refill # field blank and hit the

or authority in the text field.

This Feature cannot be used in conjunction with the Enter (PIN) Code on Dose Screen feature.

CUBIE Lockout
This feature is for CUBIEs bins only within the CUBIE replenishment process.
This feature is setup through the receiving site cabinet
software where the admin will be able to set the time
period after which the CUBIE is locked down, and the
schedule range for which apply to the lockdown.
With this feature enabled, once the item within the
designated schedule range is Issued, the system will
start a timer for the period indicated in the settings
(Max of 24hrs). Once that period has ended, the
system will lockdown that CUBIE, preventing further
access to the item.
If the user tries to access the item once locked down,
the system will inform the user that there is a lockdown
for that item in effect. The system will trigger an order
to the pharmacy for replenishment. Once the
replenishment occurs, the item can begin the cycle
again.

APPENDIX A 112

Patient Profile

Cubex LLC® 2018—All Rights Reserved. May not be reprinted or distributed without permission
What Is Patient Profile Mode?
The objective of Profile is to let users at the Solution know what has been prescribed for the patient and
to allow regular staff to ONLY take medications that have been prescribed by a Doctor for a particular
patient. There will usually be senior staff who can Override profile restrictions, in the event a needed
medication should be on the profile.

One reason a prescribed medication may not be showing on the patient’s profile at the MedBank
could be because the interface is down between the clinical system and myQLink.net. In these
circumstances, senior staff may not always be available to override the profile restrictions for every
medication Issue transaction, and the administrator may wish to temporarily allow regular staff to
Override the profile. In those circumstances, access to certain medications, such as narcotics will still 113
need to remain restricted. Your MedBank Solution provides a way to do that. And, the restrictions can
be pre-set item by item.

In Profile Mode and Override Profile Mode, the normal user access restrictions to the med type
(Controlled substances, Meds, Supplies, need etc.) and item restrictions (e.g. Need for witness,
Countback etc.) continue to apply.

Requirements for Patient Profile


A Third-Party System that has the capability to interface with the MedBank.

Cubex LLC® 2018—All Rights Reserved. May not be reprinted or distributed without permission

Allow Profile Quantity Edit 114


When enabled, allows the user to edit the Profile
Quantity amount.

Display Multiple Profiles for the same item


In some industries, a patient may have multiple
profiles (e.g. one for surgery and one for treatment). When enabled, this feature allows all the profiles
to be displayed at the cabinet.

Is Framework Interface being used?


When enabled, the system will know to use the last digits after the last forward slash (/) in a Med Order
when using the Validation code feature.

Issue By Number of Doses*


When enabled, limits the number of doses a patient can receive from the MedBank, based on Profile
specifications.

Override Witness Required in Profile Mode


When enabled, requires a witness for any Profile Override.

Profile Mode
When enabled, the patient profiles created will be visible to the end user.

Setting Options when using Patient Profile

Show Future Profile Items


When a Patient’s Profile is listed, this feature
allows the user to see items in the profile that are
due in the future, but are not currently available
for Issue.

Show Profile Clear All Button


On the Profile Item Issue Screen, all items in the
profile are defaulted as checked to issue. This
feature allows the end user to clear all checks
from the items by selecting the Clear All button.

Show Profile Items for Users with Insufficient


Rights
Users will be able to see the items on the profile

allows the user to see items in the profile not
assigned to a Solution.

Show Profile Items on the Other Cabinets


When a Patient’s Profile is listed, this feature
allows the user to see other items in the profile
residing in bins in other Solutions.

Transaction Bundling with Billing Interface


Bundling occurs when the same item is issued
out of 2 different bins. With a billing interface,
bundling will only show 1-line item of the total
amount (for invoicing), but both bin
transactions will be logged.

Unlink ProfileID when using Med Equivalent


When enabled, if a med equivalent is used on
a billable profile item, the billing message will
indicate Override.

Profiles in myQLink.net
An interface to a clinical third-party system to
receive the profile is required for a majority of
systems to provide Profile-based features.
However, this is still possible when you do not
have an interface (or when the interface is
down) by entering the Profile information in
myQLink.net.

To do this, go to a Patient screen > Select


Patient Items > Add New Patient Item. 116

Items can also be discontinued or modified


here, whether manually entered or originating
from the interface. The Profile is used to restrict
access by regular staff only to medications a
Doctor has prescribed for a patient.

If the interface is down for any reason, there


are usually senior nurses at the facility with
privileges that allow them to Issue medications
not on the profile, but, when the interface is
down, it is usually too much for them to have to
run around issuing all the meds – especially
during peak periods, or they may not be
available during after-hours and weekends.

Cubex LLC® 2018—All Rights Reserved. May not be reprinted or distributed without permission
Critical Override Flag
A Solution can be set in Critical Override mode , to allow regular users access to items not on a
patient’s profile.

This is done for all the (Profile enabled) Solutions in a particular facility by setting the Critical
Override flag in the Tools > Company > Defaults menu or at the individual Solution level by setting the
Profile Critical Override flag on the Solution menu.

It is usually much easier to do it on myQLink.net, but there might be a reason to set override at the
Solution.

Also on the Solution screen there is an Option to automatically set Profile Critical Override from the
result of a Heartbeat check on the interface. A Heartbeat check is a periodic test to see if the interface
is up and running. It works like this; if the interface does not send a time stamp message within the
period Profile Timeout Period (default 9999999 = 10 years) then the Profile Alive flag gets
unchecked and the Profile Critical Override Flag is set, allowing the override process. When
communications are re-established, normal Profile mode resumes and the Critical Override Flag is
automatically unchecked.

While on this screen, it should be noted that for


this solution, profile override can be blocked by
setting No Profile Overrides Allowed .

This is for when the site is manually put in Critical


Override in Tool > Options > Defaults. This is the
easiest way to selectively exclude certain
Solutions from override mode when there are
multiple Solutions at the site.

Cubex LLC® 2018—All Rights Reserved. May not be reprinted or distributed without permission
Item Attributes
Once in Override mode, you might not want regular
users to have access to ALL medications, so it is
possible to mark some medications as not available,
even in Override mode. Schedule 2 narcotics could
be an example.

To do this, each item has the option in the MyQLink


Inventory > Items screen, Exclude from Critical
Override.
118
Finally, you can set the privileges for users in the
Employee Attributes.

Employee Attribute Settings


Profile Override means this is a senior user who can
Override Profile medications (including those
marked as Exclude from Critical override). Their
access, however, is still subject to other restrictions
above as to what class of items they can access:
Controlled substances, etc.

Similar to Profile Override, Critical is intended for


regular staff and only gives them access to non-
profile meds if the cabinet is in Override mode, and
then only to items that are not marked as Exclude
from Critical Override.
