The invention provides an exemplary method for restocking pharmaceutical or medical supply items into a dispensing unit having a processor, with at least some of the pharmaceutical or medical supply items being held in removable liners having a plurality of receptacles. According to the method, a request is entered into the processor to restock pharmaceutical or medical supply items. One of the liners is then removed from the dispensing unit and is replaced with a replacement liner having a new inventory of pharmaceutical or medical supply items. Information identifying the replacement liner is also entered into the processor.

The physiological monitor of claim 10 wherein said magnetic field generator is a pair of generally planar permanent magnets, said magnets being fixedly mounted parallel to each other and being rotatable between a first position that generates a first uniform magnetic field coaxially to said light source and a second position that generates a second uniform magnetic field orthogonally to said first uniform magnetic field. 13. The physiological monitor of claim 10 wherein said magnetic field generator is a pair of generally planar permanent magnets, said magnets each being hinged to move between a first position parallel to each other so as to generate a first uniform magnetic field coaxially to said light source and a second position tilted towards each other so as to generate a second non-uniform magnetic field coaxial to said light source. 14. A physiological monitoring method for measuring a blood constituent concentration within a tissue portion of a subject, said method comprising the steps of: illuminating said tissue portion with a polarized light beam; applying a magnetic field to said tissue portion; measuring a rotation in polarization of said light beam after transmission through said tissue portion; estimating a mean photon pathlength from said rotation; and applying said mean pathlength to a spectroscopic measurement to determine said constituent concentration. 15.
