PATIENT INSTRUCTIONS: HOW TO USE YOUR e-pill MED-TIME XL
For the patient the e-pill Med-Time XL is very simple to use. When the alarm sounds,
simply walk over to the device, pick it up, and turn it over. The right medications, in the
right dosage, will come out at the right time
(see above how to set and fill your device).
How To Dispense Medications
1. The device sounds at the set alarm times.
2. Remove the medications by turning e-pill Med-Time XL upside down.
3. The right medications drop into your open hand.
4. Turning the device upside down turns the alarm off.
Please note that if the patient has missed a dose…
It will be rotated away when the next medication time occurs.
This may prevent double dosing.
A missed dose can only be retrieved by unlocking your e-pill Med-Time XL
Automatic Pill Dispenser.
Early Dose Feature (BEFORE)
- It is possible to take pills before the scheduled alarm
time by activating the
BEFORE
function. If this feature is active and you would like to
dispense your medications prior to the scheduled alarm time, follow the instructions
below:
How to Early Dose:
