4.2 Opening the cover
Press the black locking pin downwards and open the
cover by turning it. Please note that the thread of the
cover is short and corresponds to about five minutes on
the clock.
4.3 Closing the cover
Place the cover in the ‘five minutes to’ position as shown above, and close it
by turning it clockwise. Finally press the black locking pin in, in order to
prevent the cover opening accidentally during use.
5 Use of the dosage cassette
There are two basic types of dosage cassettes, the Addoz
®
Med-O-Wheels:
those with 14 dosage compartments and those with 28. Both types are the
same size, so one compartment of a 14-compartment cassette holds twice
the amount of medicine of a compartment in a 28-compartment cassette.
Suckable tablets and other tablets with a sticky surface may get stuck inside
the compartment. Avoid using the cassette for the dispensing of such
tablets.
Once you have selected the correct dosage calendar and put it in the
middle of the cassette, the calendar will show which dose is where in the
compartment.
A separate cover is also available for the dosage cassette. This can be
used as an aid to refilling the cassette, for example. The calendar shows
which dose is in the open compartment. Please note that the cover must be
turned in a clockwise direction.
On the dosage stickers to be attached to the bottom of the dosage cassette,
you can record which medicine is in the cassette and when it should be
administered.
When you wish to close the Med-O-Wheel completely, turn the dispensing
opening in the cover to the zero or ‘home base’ position. Then all dosage
compartments will be closed.
