The pharmacy staff will then enter your user ID into the Pyxis system with the specific privileges stipulated by your supervisor.

My initial password must be immediately changed the first time I log-on to a Pyxis MedStation. Below is a my requested user ID for the Pyxis MedStation system. The initial password is “NEW”. I understand that in combination with my user ID, my PASSWORD or BIOID will be my electronic signature for all transactions within the Pyxis system.
