Substance Field

The following buttons are used in the Substance/Verbatim field:

 -New/Clear Substance: Clears the substance fields.

-Save Substance: Saves current substance information to the verbatim field.

 -Erase Substance: Erases the selected substance.

 -Number of Substance: used to track the number of substances in             each case. The Number of Subs field will automatically increment as each substance is saved in the case.

 -Substance History: Displays a list of substances that have previously been looked up in the same Toxicall® session.

 -Refresh Substances: Refreshes current substance list.

-Result button: Generates substance dose calculation.

To enter a Substance/Verbatim for an open case, enter the name of a substance in the verbatim field, such as ibuprofen, press Enter or click the look up button  to the right of the verbatim field, or hit Ctrl-L which will perform a search of the Micromedex POISINDEX® database, provided you also have this installed properly. Once the POISINDEX® database is displayed, select the appropriate substance and continue the links until all necessary information has been gathered.

Note: Typing in the ‘New Substance’ field will automatically clear all information in the generic code and substance description fields.

Move back into the Toxicall® screen by either selecting Toxicall® from the windows task bar or ALT + TAB. The description, POISINDEX® code and generic code, will automatically be populated entered into the appropriate fields.
