Organizing medication correctly, assigning dose times and determining what medications go
into each slot is the responsibility of you, your caregiver, and/or your health care provider.
Loading of Medications
Select the right Dosage Template (1 to 6X daily) based
on the patient’s dosing requirement. Secure the Dosage
Template on the Medication Tray by folding four tabs
down. Using the template as a guide, place pills in
correct dosages in each compartment. Please make sure
that the number of alarms set (one up to a maximum of
six alarms) equals the dosage template chosen.
Note: The Tray Rotates Clockwise.
Fill compartments with pills using the dosage template
as a guide (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 Dispensing Events per
day).
For example: if the patient takes meds 2 x per day
(morning and night) and you are loading the tray after
the morning dose.
The sequence should be (counter clock-wise): night –
morning – night – morning – night – morning – night
…… - morning (last one).
The first dose scheduled to be dispensed, after the
e-pill MedTime SAFE is filled and programmed, is
placed to the right of the lid opening. This dose of
medications will be made available to the patient, when
the next medication event (alarm) is scheduled.
When the lid is closed an empty compartment should be
seen in the opening (last dose taken by the patient,
which should be empty).
