Close the cover of the Med-O-Wheel Smart and put the device in a suitable
position, where its audible reminding signal will be easily heard.
6.8 Dosage window
The dosage window lasts a total of three hours, during which the Med-O-
Wheel Smart will, if requested, provide the next dosage. The dosage
window opens one hour before the set dosage time, and closes two hours
after it.
The following is a description of a Med-O-Wheel Smart dosage period:
ADVANCE TIME
dosage is given if requested, but there is no audible
reminder for it
DOSAGE TIME
an audible signal reminds the user to take the dose
ALARM TIME
if a dosage is forgotten, a remote alarm sounds
(optional) and reminders then continue
SKIP
at this point, two hours after the dosage time, the
dosage in question is skipped and the dispenser
switches to waiting for the next dosage time
SAFETY TIME
ensures that two dosages may not be taken too close
to each other, with at least one hour in between
NORMAL
the dispenser is in normal mode and awaiting the next
dose
6.9 Dosage reminders
At the set dosage time, the Med-O-Wheel Smart gives an audible ‘wake-up’
signal, ten long beeps. This wake-up signal is repeated three times at one-
minute intervals, if the dosage is not taken before it.
After that, the Med-O-Wheel Smart gives an audible ‘reminder’ signal, at
fifteen-minute intervals. This signal consists of three short beeps. In that
way, the device should not disturb other people who may be near, but will
attract the attention of the user.
